what is your opinion of online degrees, both bachelors and masters?

I excel at school when I am able to take classes online. Do employers have an opinion on online vs. traditional degrees? Are master's programs tougher to get into if the applicant has an online degree? Do you know of any nationally accredited online degree programs?

  1. Do not take many online classes. People always have misconception that online classes are easier. But they are opposite. Online classes require you to read a lot, hopefully, spend more time than traditional classes. If you can, try to take weekend classes. You will know the complication since you taste the overload of work from the onlining classes. For onlining classes, the assignment due faster more than expected.. My experience..I will never take online classes again!
  2. It's better than having no degree at all. I've heard that University of Phoenix is ok. You should look into weekend classes that many colleges now offer for working people. They are respected programs since the curriculum is not made easier or below the usual standard.
  3. There are a number of excellent answers to this same question here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnfO7DmDZTMmKgut5tNQyNTsy6IX?qid=20070830065227AA02T3r&show=7#profile-info-AA11867515 The gist is that it all depends on the institution. An online degree from a reputable college is often better than a traditional degree from an unknown institution.
