I thought I'd lend you a hand, so you don't have to violate your ToS.

This is from one of the ad sites:

DOCTORATE DEGREE

Requires 38 credits.

A master degree is normally a prerequisite for the doctorate degree.

You qualify for a Doctorate degree if you have one of the following:

--Two years work/life experience in your field and a master degree.
--More than ten years work/life experience in your field.
--Any combination of the above or considerable life/work experience.

Another offers a PhD, but cautions that it "requires a specific Major Field of Study." On a side note in a geeky vein, they also have an almost-black header, with the following text almost hidden within it:

Life Experience Degree Life Experience Degrees Life Experience Degree Life Experience Degrees Online Degree Online Degrees Online Degree Online Degrees Online Degree Online Degrees College Degree College Degrees College Degree College Degrees College Degree College degrees High School Diploma High School Diplomas High School Diploma High School Diplomas GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED GED

Another one only offers Associate, Bachelor and Master degrees.

The next two sites appear to be essentially brokers for online degrees.

Just to satisfy your curiosity, James, since I know you'd never violate the GoogleAds ToS.

Boyd,

Thanks much!

And, man, I wish I'd known about this years ago. I could have saved a lot of time in grad school. Indeed, I'd have qualified for my Ph.D. before getting out of the Army, since I had a masters going in and wound up getting the Ph.D. with a specialization in security studies. Surely, four years as an officer, including a combat tour, is worth 38 credits!

Or you could've attended Michael Newdow University and gotten a "Doctor of the Universe" degree.

Or you could've attended Michael Newdow University and gotten a "Doctor of the Universe" degree. Nah, then you'd get bugged by all those little green aliens complaining about space colds, assorted aches and pains, and depression from spending so much time traveling between galaxies.

Yeah -- and that danged Skeletor is such a nuisance too.

Men are from Mars, women are from Venus
This just in: For almost a decade, researchers at Pfizer struggled to show that Viagra, the male impotence drug, could enhance sexual function in women. Last month, they gave up. Countless tests on thousands of women made it clear that

Men may well be from Mars, but his degree's from a Cracker Jacks box
Neither James Joyner nor Kevin Drum are particularly impressed that “Dr.” John Gray is siccing lawyers on people who question the legitimacy of “Dr.” Gray’s academic credentials, a Ph.D. from “Columbia Pacific Univer...
