online degree??? Why are ppl saying the degrees aren't that respected?
Asked by pebblesi know that the college i choose need to be regionally accredited, reputable and transferrable...i got that part. But my question is... ppl are saying that the online degrees are not respected by employers like a "community college " degree, that is later transferred over to a 4 year university that is in your local area. But the school i am considering has an option to be on campus or online. My question is if online degrees are less considered v.s me sitting in class, how would the degree be any differ if i lived in Iowa (where the school is) and decided to do it all online v.s going to class physically? What if the degree earned do not state on it "online" ? What if someone from another state decided to take an online course at a reputable , accredited college here in my hometown? If the degree is accepted for us by most employers, wouldn't it be accepted for them even though they did it online? What if our local colleges are not one you wanna put on your resume? Help please!!!

I do not know what people are saying that about on line college courses. Since computers and Internet uses have expanded in to the homes as well as educational institutions the on line courses are being offered by more and more colleges. Perhaps the employers are skeptical having not had that option when they attended college? I attended on campus for the first 9 months then switched to on line and completed my B.S. Degree in April 2007. My degree does not say the courses were on line. By the time you get your degree the attitudes may be more positive.
