Pace University, Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems,Doctor of Professional Studies (DPS) in Computing. Education Scam. White Plains, New York
Here how this creative scam scheme works:
Students enter the three years Doctorate (DPS) program and pass the classes. Students pay more than $60,000 and if you are late for one payment the director himself would be asking for his money.
At the end of the program you have a very small chance of getting your degree. 70% of the students don't graduate because they can't start working on their dissertation due to an arrogant and unhelpful director and some advisors.
The director DR. F.G main job is trashing student's dissertation ideas and making them feel bad about themselves NOT helping and guiding them. He would answer to any dissertation idea by a phrase he loves and keep repeating so what? or "this is garbage. The only way to get your degree is to get him to like you which is rare because he hates people.
So if you want to waste 3 years of your life and $60,000 of your money than this is the program to go.
Now you dont have to believe a word I said, but go ahead and find the facts by yourself, email the program's director and ask him how many students finished the program on time and how many students gave up and never finished. More than 70%of students gave up, I was one of them and I hate to see other victims fall to this scam.

A part-time doctoral degree?
#2Consumer Suggestion
Mon, April 16, 2012
Sounds like the real question is why somebody would choose a program like that. A real doctoral degree is a serious undertaking that normally takes 5-7 years of full-time work. The only reason you would get a doctoral degree is if you want to become a researcher in that field. Most real doctoral programs in computer science and engineering (certainly all of the ones worth anything) will pay for everything and will even pay you a small stipend. In return, you will spend pretty much all of your time doing research and writing academic papers. These programs involve little to no coursework -- the real job is doing research good enough to be published in peer-reviewed journals. Also, you generally choose your prospective advisor before you even apply somewhere -- this person generally determines the rest of your academic trajectory.
I am not sure what a "DPS" in "Computing" is, but I can assure you nobody will be particularly impressed by it. If your level of commitment is so low that you have to do this as a part-time program, then a doctoral degree really doesn't make sense for you. Most importantly, a doctoral degree is not something you get just to pad your resume and make yourself look more employable -- if anything, it limits your career opportunities. It sucks that you spent so much money on this, but a little research upfront could have prevented this occurrence.
