I am thinking about obtaining a degree from an online university and I am curious to see what corporate America thinks about online degrees.

A: We HR people are more concerned about the reputation of the particular school than whether it was delivered online or in the classroom. Some schools have a reputation for graduating excellent students, others have a reputation for being "pay your fee, get a C" -- we generally prefer the former over the latter. Online and DL delivery of college coursework is normal now. Almost every college in the country offers online coursework and some of the best offer whole degrees online. If your degree is from a school that has a solid reputation and is regionally accredited then it will be well received. If it doesn't have a good reputation then it will be known for what it is. Explore the really good schools like UMass, Boston, SUNY, U Fla, U Cal., and the like. The cool thing about online education is that you can get a degree from a really good school online.

Q: Are Online degrees just as good as degrees obtained by actually going to college?
Are Online degrees looked upon & honored the same way as regular degrees obtained through a 4-year schools?

A: As long as the college is regionally accredited any degree you earn should be recognized and honored by any potential employers and other academic institutions. That having been said not all online colleges are viewed the same just as not all campus colleges are viewed the same. Even within the same college (both online and campus) different programs can be viewed differently by potential employers in various fields. I think you will find that online degrees are growing both in acceptance and in the number of schools offering them as more schools recognize the benefits learning online offer both the school and students. In fact most colleges at this point will not indicate whether a degree is obtained online or on campus. Whether you choose to attend a campus program or online I would recommend contacting a number of schools to find the best fit for you and your needs (tuition, schedule, reputation by potential employers). Too often people choose to enroll in the first program they find without looking at other options. If you do choose to go the online route this site has some great info on accredited online degrees and some colleges to help begin/expand your search: http://www.ecollegefinder.org/list-of-online-schools-universities-colleges.aspx I think you can fill out your contact info on the forms there and the colleges will send you more information for free.

Q: What are the best totally ONLINE schools out there for accounting degrees?
I work full time and the nearest college to me is an hour away. I know some companies may feel that online degrees are not as good, but I don't feel I have a choice. However, I do want to go to a college that is regionally recognized and accredited, one that will transfer over to any other college later on when I go back for my masters. Any suggestions? Thanks

A: In my experience online degrees have grown considerably both in the eyes of potential employers and schools offering the programs. In fact many schools do not indicate whether a degree is obtained online or on campus. I do think you are on the right track in making sure that the college is regionally accredited. Additionally I would make sure that you look around at multiple schools (as you would if you were going to a campus) and see what program is best for you. I would also make sure you ask about transferring credits or degrees for later pursuits. I did a search for accredited accounting degrees online and this site seems to have good info and some schools for you to check out. Good luck!
