Regional accreditor the Higher Learning Commission
in August approved Edgewood University’s request to introduce a Doctor of Technology degree, and
in September approved Purdue University Global’s request to introduce a Doctor of Business Administration degree. Further approvals may be needed from other authorities.

Approval to award a degree and that degree actually being announced and offered can be very far apart.

This comment was going to be about how Edgewood didn't have any technology degrees, but I was mistaken. It looks like they have computer information systems and data science undergraduate degrees. Maybe looking at those undergraduate programs will give us some insight into possible concentrations for the doctor of technology

It's important to stress that Purdue University Global is NOT Purdue University.

Technically it IS Purdue University in the same way that, say, Purdue-Fort Wayne or Purdue-Indianapolis are -- in that it's a campus in the Purdue University system. But yes, it's not Purdue University West Lafayette.
