An online masters degree?

Question

Are they viewed differently then a regular MBA for instance, and are these online schools reputable? I was looking at Harding and Jones International but the source is well the source.

Answer 1

Make sure it is an accredited university, that's for sure.

The online degrees are lacking in that you don't have the exchange of ideas that you would have in a regular classroom, which I think is a crucial part of higher education.

Regarding employers and how they view these degrees...it depends upon the field and the company.  My husband is an HR executive and he scoffs at online Master's degrees, but we know other people who think they are ok.
