Anyone familiar with websites or institutions which offer an accredited doctoral program in information technology? I just don't have the time to sit in a classroom. The only doctoral program I can find is at Dakota State University which can be completed 100% online. From my limited research, seems DSU is the only program online so far. Thanks for the info!

Seems like a waste of time and money to get a Doctorate for IT. You dont need one. -

Well, if you want to be a professor - than yes you most likely do. -

I'm sorry, but IT isn't about playing video games all day and taking calls for the Help Desk...some folks may want to pursue a higher form of education for a career that may involve academia (tenured professors, btw, make a lot more than a CCIE...)
To the OP, I looked at the Dakota State program just out of curiousity. It can be done online, but from what I read, it is not very easy.
I actually know someone who is doing a doctorate at CTU. He's got about three years left and he started a while ago. His program is online, but he still has to go out of state for dissertation defense and what not.
It is work, but could pay off if you're looking to get into academia. -

As Erpadmin mentioned some will require you to travel. In addition, what difference would it make if you do it via Telepresence or some other high end videoconference solution? -
