Industry value of Doctoral degree when compared To a PhD in Computer Science I'm planning to do a Doctoral program in computer science. However, there are Two degrees:


Doctor of computer science (DCS Doctoral degree)
Doctor of philosophy in (PhD) computer science 


I am a working professional and I'm planning to do one of these degrees mainly for career advancement. I'll be continuing in industries and not interested in the teaching profession. It is common to see industries specifying PhD as a mandatory requirement for some jobs; however, I have not seen the same thing for DCS degree. 

Therefore, I would like to know which one of them is widely accepted by industries? 

Thanks,
Raj
[a] DCS is not considered equivalent to a Ph.D


So, a job posting seeking a candidate with a PhD in computer science is only seeking (2), candidates with only (1) should not apply.


  will the company treat both the doctoral programs equally or does one have edge over the other?


PhD has the edge over DCS.
