Jun 29, 2022 · An online doctorate isn't worth the paper it's printed on. It's not masters degree 2.0. The fact that the US calls them both graduate school is really misleading. A masters is way more like undergrad than a PhD is like a masters. Liberty in particular is better than Walden, but they're both degree mills.

I work at a huge CC and some professors have phds from online programs (you need a masters to be hired as a prof here - i was hired before my doctorate) and even more deans/directors have their doctorates (edd and phd) from online programs.

Mar 6, 2023 · All of these degrees can be easily made to be competency based. What does this mean though in the context of a doctorate? They’re already “competency based”… that’s the entire point of defending your thesis/dissertation.

Mar 19, 2023 · Yes, it really is that bad. I'm not hater of online education by any means, but Liberty is arguably the worst online institution I can think of. The rigor is impossibly low in addition to the prevalence of evangelicalism in places you'd think they could possibly make evangelical.
