What do employers think about a master’s degree learned online?
lynne6421 asked:
Presently I work for a profession college. I am in a position to obtain complete tution reinbursement for my masters degree if I attend a sister school of hte college I presently work. The opportunity is great, however, I would take purely all on-line courses. Does anybody know how other employers would view on-line courses? Has anybody taken an entire masters degree on-line?

Online courses are a joke. I am 14 and I took the online courses and passed them easily. Does that mean I can get a job?
Stay in real college.
My husband's employer doesn't recognize online anything classes or degrees, associate, bachelor or master degree.
I also sometimes think classroom degrees may be better.
Online education is accredited as any physical university. Believe it or not, it is education of the future. We maybe a little skepical because its a little new. Classes are challenging and require actual studying! When I earned my B.A., I didnt read anything- just took notes in class. Online, you have to be involved. Also, physical universities are offering online classes. Its convenient for real adults with families and bills. I am taking my MPA online and I have learned more than I have in my undergrad. Really, online education is of the future, dont underestimate it- good luck.
You should definitely look into the open university - It's an official university (largest in the UK by student number) and recognised by employers (can be studied anywhere in the world not just UK). All the course is taught through distance learning i.e. internet & DVDs and things, but you get assigned a tutor (who you talk to on the phone and give you feedback on work you hand in). I think you might have to go somewhere to sit examinations, I don't know that much but it should be easy to find out about...
