How do employers view applicants with masters degrees from online programs as compared to a real university?

Public Comments

  1. If it is an accredited university it really does not matter. Because of schedules and work the online option has become quite popular, in fact my BSBA was achieved online and paid for by my company.
  2. If the degree comes from a school carrying a legitimate accreditation, it is generally not an issue. The masters degree is an entry ticket to certain types of jobs, but the attributes and qualities that you bring to the table as a candidate will really make the difference as to whether you are the person for the job. However, don't be surprised if you are asked why you selected to go the online route and what was the advantage in doing so.
