What do people in the psychology field think about online graduates?

I am attending Argosy University online for forensic psychology and I want to know how people in the field feel about graduates who attended online college for their Masters Degree's. The classes have become increasingly difficult and I'm having some apprehension about continuing online courses. Your thoughts?

  1. I guess it depends on the reputation of the online university. I know employers are looking for good recommendations from professors, and if you don't personally know your professors it's hard to get a recommendation. Also, do your online classes require field work? Employers are also looking for candidates to have experience in the field, whether it's volunteer hours, or something else. You can get that on your own though- just go find a job or internship, it will look very good on your resume and your supervisor can write you a recommendation. Don't give up- a degree online is so much better than no degree at all. You can do things that make the degree look better, just by getting your own experience in the field.
  2. I'm not a psychology major or graduate but I hate online degrees. It seems like the easy way out.
