Will employers view an online masters degree the same as one taken in a classroom?

Sunday, July 29th, 2007
llgrah4736 asked:

I am thinking about getting my masters degree and want to make sure that I don’t end up wasting my time and money. I don’t live close to a college and would prefer to take classes online due to my current schedule. Does anyone know how I can make sure that the program comes from an accredited and well ranked college? (a website) I already have a BS in Criminal Justice and plan to get my masters in that field. Any advice would be appreciated.

Online Degrees?

Saturday, July 28th, 2007
Kay asked:

Does anybody know how an online degree works? What have you done? There are many advertising about online degrees. I don’t know which online offer is okay. Can I become a lawyer with online education? I am interested in financing and law. I am 18 and I live in a small town. It’s almost impossible to drive every day to a school for hours. Online education would be the best way to start.

brianna b asked:

I excel at school when I am able to take classes online. Do employers have an opinion on online vs. traditional degrees? Are master’s programs tougher to get into if the applicant has an online degree? Do you know of any nationally accredited online degree programs?

I am in the construction field and I am considering getting an online degree in construction management to further my career but I do not want to spend the money or time if companies are not going to value it in close proximity with a conventional college degree. Is there a website that can help me determine how the different online colleges are rated in real world business?

Is a University of Phoenix degree held to the same regard as one from a traditional school?

Friday, July 13th, 2007
PrimeTime asked:

I am a full time single parent and I work full time, so (although I wish I could) there is no way I can attend classes (even night classes would not fit into my schedule). I have an Associates degree, but I would love to be able to earn a Bachelors degree. University of Phoenix seems like a viable option for me. I’m just concerned about being turned down a job due to the degree not being held to the same regard as one from a traditional school. What do you all think?
