Doctorates (QUICK)(CHEAP)

Naprapathy

Southwest University of Naprapathic Medicine - Doctorate in Naprapathy - $60,000 but allows 50% credit transfer so may be cheaper, 100% Online, DEAC

It’s only 100% online in a loose sense considering the yearlong internship requirement in the third year. “Internship requirements are to complete 750 hours over 50 weeks to treat 500 patients, while under the supervision of a licensed Naprapath.”

Naprapaths are only licensed in the US states of IL, NM, NV, and OH, and it appears to be grandfathered to only historic license-holders in OH. I expect there’s some number of naprapaths with licenses from a licensure state who work in other locations without a local license (similar to the situation for naturopathic doctors), but with only two schools of naprapathy in the US, Southwest and the original one in Illinois, probably not many. There also appear to be licensed naprapaths in Scandinavia.

Transfer credit is unlikely to help anyone who isn’t already trained in a graduate-level health field such as physical therapy, or a transfer student from another naprapathic school.

Southwest University of Naprapathic Medicine’s doctorate also requires Saturday classes throughout the program.

Bellevue’s DBA is around $45,000.

BELLEVUE UNIVERSITY - DBA: $16,000 ish (Assuming you transfer in 36 credits from MBA or similar program)

Bellevue doctoral tuition is $825 per credit hour. The DBA requires 91 credit hours post-bachelor’s. Up to 36 credits can be transferred in from an appropriate master’s, making the DBA program 55 credit hours = $45 375, plus $350 for the zero-credit DBA 898 Bootcamp.

It looks like you slipped by assuming 55 credit hours minus 36.

Signum Magnum College mentioned by Unlucky is looking like a winner. At first I was unsure if "Homegrown Award" was the equivalent of a Spanish propio when I looked up their government accreditation, but it turns out that is the proper Maltese term for an official degree from a real university. With a low price and additional 40% discount for prepayment this is looking like a real winner for bargain seekers.

BUUUUT, SMC wants you to have an official master with a minimum of 90 ECTS for admission. That is...less than optimal for doing this on the cheap. The possibility of doing extra work to make up the difference from where you are to a 90 ECTS master is mentioned in the fine print, but it sounds like they will have to like your application quite a bit otherwise for that to be an option.   

The value at this level is substantial. If paid up front (presumably with no refunds for casuals that quit) PhDs run €5760 and the DBA is a jaw-dropping €4320! There are doctorates you don't normally see at this point either, including AI, economics and public administration. That's within €2000 of the cheapest crappiest African school you can find that has nothing but bad reviews from people here and/or on the sister site.

Thanks for adding those links. Made it easy to add them to the Wiki. I'm still not sure how people are calculating prices, but I believe you.

Thanks! I added an Africa/MENA section to the Wiki and put this info there.

Hope to catch up on the American ones over the weekend unless someone beats me to it.
