I've been looking at the Walden online Phd programme in Applied Management and Decision Sciences. Any views on its quality and credibility?

Thank you for a terrific forum.

Sorry!

So, in your opinion, is ANY distance learning Phd dubious? I see no reference to Walden in your referred posting and am somewhat surprised that it would find itself on the same page as a diploma mill.

Thank you for taking the trouble to respond!

Thanks Lamb, sounds like good advice. The problem I'm having is finding a credible distance learning Phd. Are there any? So far Walden seemed the most suitable (Perhaps it's the 20 days' residency and a serious price tag that gives it a bit of weight). They are part of Laureate who also govern the new online MSc in colab with Uni of Liverpool.

Know of any serious online Phd's?

I'm in Africa - little more needs to be said. Love everything here bar educational standards. Don't want to leave, not even for a Phd. Simply looking for 1st class (virtual) autonomy in the land of the blind...

Thanks again!

Lamb, me again. I'm going blind. Where did you refer to Walden in that link?

Drinks on me if you can find it...

Darn right. We don't have broadband so page 2/3 will only load next week....

Case closed now that I read the whole thing. Thank you

I know of people who have completed a PhD in another country thanks to e-mail, phone and regular trips to the UK
