Question

There is any good and reasonable priced a PHD education - under distance learning process ?

Answer 1

If you find one, let me know :-)

Answer 2

Walden, Capella and Phoenix are all quiet mediocre schools.

What is your purpose in doing a PhD? PhD are usually done either in order to get into academe, or in order to specialise - for the market - even more than an MBA or an MA would give you.

For the first one, PhD by distance learning is definitely a bad idea. No university would hire you as a lecturer/professor after a distance learning course; part of the PhD course in graduate schools also involves working with students, experiencing research with your supervisor, etc.

In the market, employers might still prefer a candidate with a "regular" PhD, but might accept a distance learning PhD from a good university.

Please note, that if you already have an MBA or an MA in economics, that many UK and European universities offer a PhD programme  which doesn't include any classes attendance, and if you manage to reach an agreement in that spirit with the supervisor - you might only have to visit the university several times a year, but not actually live there.

Answer 3

Try the DBA at Manchester Bussines School

Answer 4

perhaps Walden University- it is an online program that offers graduate degrees in Education

Answer 5

I have found PhD programs at University of Phoenix, Capella, and Walden. None of them are reasonably priced, but at least they are reputable schools--you do real work for a real degree.
