A colleague sent this to me as she will be purusing her DBA from Capella and it is one of the new FlexPath doctorates they are offering, where you can take as many classes you want in a 12 week term and pay a flat tuition rate. There are a few new masters program in this format as well:

I know an APRN Pyschiatric Prescriber who is in the DNP program. She says it's a lot of work and she expects to make a ton of money when she's done.

Crap-Hell-Ya! I'll take a doctorate from them any day for the price... when it comes to the doctorate level, even a Nationally Accredited degree would be amazing for me... I think most people who go for doctorates want that final frontier complete in their life or educational journey. Most will settle for a Bachelors and a vast number would settle for a Masters, only a small amount out of those will ever want a doctorate. It's not always for professional reasons, some for personal and educational goal that a doctorate level degree is what they're looking at. I think when I retire, I'll go for one or two PhD/Doctorates in other fields that I have interest in...

I always thought that if a Doctorate were to happen in this format it would be a DBA, but I thought it would be WGU doing it.

This. I'd consider a Capella Doctorate if only to say "I've got a doctorate!" though this price isn't too amazing considering UCN or UCAM as other options. I'm also checking into one that's as cheap as UCN from a better school, if it pans out.

No dissertation? I can't see how this would be taken seriously.

UCN = Universidad Central de Nicaragua
UCAM = Catholic University of Murcia (Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia)
If you happen to be in a position where you need to have a doctorate evaluated, be aware that WES is not evaluating UCN degrees. I think UCAM is the same. I am not sure about other evaluation services. However, even if SpanTran, ECE, etc. do evaluate their degrees, some companies/institutions might only accept WES evaluations.
If you're only wanting a doctorate for your own edification, you clearly don't need to concern yourself with evaluations.
