I remain doubtful. I wonder what percentage of these doctors gain real academic positions at real universities. <1%? I am not talking about teaching at community colleges. I did that with a bachelors. I am not talking adjunct positions. Perhaps the fraud is not the unaccredited school offering a doctorate for $5,000 but the accredited school selling a doctorate and a dream for $30- 80,000.
I have an unaccredited doctorate degree from California Pacific University and I can tell you the learning methodology was good and grounded, if compared against NCU, I would said CPU is par to NCU, the reality is that NCU is accredited and CPU is not, about the price I have to agree that 30K to 80K is very stiff to get an education.
NCU provided me an opportunity to get a regional accredited doctorate degree for about 15K(the cost of average master's degree) so I took it, the other places that you can get an accredited doctorate for about 15K are some other DECT schools, but they have many limitations. So, for me the NCU situation worked just fine, because I was in the right time and had the right resources.
