These are not the criteria you seek.
Fit (subject), quality, delivery methods, research requirements, reputation.
These aer the criteria you should seek.
The doctorate will define you professionally for the rest of your life. Don't short-sell this decision.
How do you know what each person needs and wants?
No in person residency is a requirement for myself because I'm disabled and cannot fly.
Some of us want doctorates for our own personal reasons and not for our careers.
Some of us are well into middle age and don't have 7 years or more to complete a doctorate.
It's nice that some colleges are realizing that there are people who want to pursue a doctorate and aren't 22 but instead have responsibilities.
