Pace University, Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems,Doctor of Professional Studies (DPS) in Computing. Education Scam. White Plains, New York

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.
