DBA in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - Walsh College - 12.5K USD

[sarahmac]

HLC accredited DBA for 12550$ including a hot specialization.

Is this the cheapest fully accredited online DBA in the UK/US sphere or is there a catch I am missing?

Something is off here. The DBA comes from Walsh, the only part from UT is a postgrad certificate. The breakdown mentions three separate certificates with two out of the three coming from Walsh.

Looking at the Walsh accreditations page, ACBSP do not accredit the DBA (see https://www.acbspsearch.org/Home/Details...d=Inst2221). ACBSP is already a lower-tier programmatic accreditation than AACSB, but the DBA does not even have that and their programmatic accreditation is limited to certain programs at the bachelor and master level. 

Looking at the HLC page for Walsh, something appears to be even weirder. They have one approved doctoral program (https://www.hlcommission.org/component/d...nstid=1371). On the Walsh website, however, there are multiple listed (see https://walshcollege.edu/walsh-doctoral-...-programs/). DBA with two concentrations, PhD in technology with three concentrations, and a PhD in organisational leadership.

Not sure exactly what is going on, and not about to point fingers, but for me this is setting off spidey sense notions of something not adding up.
