Are online undergrad and graduate degrees respected by employers in today's job market?

We Answered:

As long as the college (online or campus based) is regionally accredited, any degree you earn should be accepted by any potential employers or other academic institutions.
My best recommendation would be to contact a number of colleges to find the best fit for you and your needs (tuition, schedule, career opportunities, etc.). Too often people enroll in the first school they find rather than taking the time to find the best school for them. Taking that time now could save you a lot of time, money and frustration if you choose the wrong school.
This site has some good info on regionally accredited online degrees and some colleges that offer them to help expand your search:

I think you can enter your info on there for any colleges you are interested in and they will send you more info for free. Good Luck!

Joe Said:

Is earning a graduate level degree online worth it?

We Answered:

According to others posting here - it's not worth the effort. So, don't get an online master's from any of the following (who offer their master's degrees online) because these schools probably won't be acceptable to "employers" and your local state U. [sarcasm intended]

Oxford University (yes, THE Oxford offers an MSt online)
Harvard University (you can't do 100% online - but almost)
Stanford University
Johns Hopkins University
Duke University
Columbia University
Northwestern University
Georgetown University
University of Florida and Florida State University

According to ABCNews, 85% of all US institutions of higher learning are teaching online now, including a big chunk of the top-20.

I bet people who say online degrees are worthless are correct and a master's from one of these is worth much less than if you just went to East Podunk State University and got your master's in the classroom. I bet you'd learn a lot more at E. Podunk than you would at any of these too...

You don't provide enough information here really. Much depends on your field of study and exactly what schools you're talking about. If you're talking about this list above then I suspect they have incredible value and utility. If you're talking about UPhoenix or DeVry or Strayer then probably less utility.

If you're asking whether a master's from East Podunk State online is worth less than the same degree done in the classroom -- they're the same, nobody cares either way at that level.

Would you hire an applicant with a master's from Stanford (online) or from East Podunk State (classroom)? That's where the difference comes in - when comparing wine grapes to pie apples. When comparing apples and oranges, it just doesn't matter all that much.

Debbie Said:

is anybody familiar with universities in illinois which offer online Graduate degrees?

We Answered:

The Illinois Virtual Campus (http://www.ivc.illinois.edu/ ) lists 297 online degrees including 71 master's available in Illinois. Among those; Argosy, Benedictine, and St. Francis offer an MBA and DePaul offers an MS in eCommerce.

U Illinois Online http://www.online.uillinois.edu/catalog/… lists 82 programs but none are an MBA. There is an MPA, MPH, and MHA online (Public Administration, Public Health, and Health Administration) as well as oodles of education and computer masters and even master's in engineering.

Your state schools are offering a lot of health and computer related master's degrees online. That could be an employment shortage clue. Check out that list of degrees and certs - if I lived in your state I'd take advantage of one of those opportunities.
