Getting my doctorate online (neuroscience)
 

Wondering if anyone has any exp with online classes? i'm Trying to find an online neuroscience program, to finish getting my doctorate.

A doctorate gotten solely through online courses would be one of the bigger pieces of [censored] I've ever heard of. Having such a degree would be almost fraudulent.

at least find one with a cool sounding or foreign name. maybe one based in Germany.

"I have my doctorate from the Gesundheit Institute..it's in Germany." Nobody will question it.

If you get it from East Souther Northern Central Online School, then it will probably not be quire so impressive.

Ya no [censored]. I would hate to think I am going to a doctor that took his classes while sitting in his underwear drinking a beer.

Wait, so you agree with me, but you're going to dismiss my position as elitist? Weird. I'm also not using fraudulent as a random angry word, but as an actual description of what I think of a credential obtained through means that are very different from what is standard.

yay you'll be as much of a doctor as a podiatrist

Can anyone think of a field that is funnier than neuroscience for this post? It has an awesome blend of "not conducive to book learning" and "REALLY REALLY dangerous to have a fake phD in".

meh, i think op's background /details of the course matter a lot regarding the legitimacy of the program. i know a few people have taken/are taking online masters phd programs. my understanding is that though the bulk of the course work (lectures, discussions, etc.) is done online, these programs do require of in class training. however, most of the programs i've heard of weren't in the sciences.
