I have been told that now a days employers are fine with an online degree, as long as it is from a good school. Phoenix is considered a good online college. expensive, but good. I think that if one had a degree from ‘george’s home schooling’ then they might think twice about seeing it as a ‘real’ degree.
Also most employers I have been told know that most if not all people work a lot and have little time to get to a class room, so online school are becoming good ways to get degrees.
I am have been trying to get my online school started. I also have been worried about what employers will think so i have been looking at colleges that people alreay know.
Most colleges offer classes and online degree programs. Harvard and Yale even. But with them you have to have at least an Associates degree first to get a bacholors or masters online..
I am going with right now, Bluegrass comminity college. Its a college in central kentucky and its a ‘real’ college..
If you are worried about what employers will think I would look into getting a degree with a ‘real’ brick and morter college, You know like harvard, yale, michigan state, places like that.. So when you are asked where you went to college all you have to really do is give them a college name and you do not have to tell them you got it online cause most of the time they will not ask if it is a college that people got to for classes.
Good Luck..
Check out employers in that field and ask that specific question. Many will accept Uniiversity of Phoenix’s degree as quickly as a land-based university. Be careful on others, though.
well it depends but why you don’t start the conversation about that ,there on your work and you decide beside a funny fact it’s the Tory Spelling its a preacher now and it was by the “Internet”
Not at all.
We’re one of the largest employers in our state, and we accept all regionally accredited degrees, regardless of format (online, onground, hybrid).
They are not as prestigious as some other schools, but we would never turn away qualified applicants.
My personal opinion is that UOP is way too expensive and that you can find a different regionally accredited option out there.
An online degree is better than no degree at all. However, obtaining a college degree through actually attending college is more highly regarded than an online degree. There’s a benefit to being in an actual classroom and from interacting with a professor and students and getting instant feedback.
