What you have to be sure of is that the school is accredited. Understand you are a part of a group of true pioneers in the online education world and go for it! I will put my degrees up against any conventional/traditional classroom degree. If it were not for online education I would have never been able to go back to school and would not have the opportunity I have today.

The degree doesn't state online prgram or whatnot. I appreciate the article you gave mary, as i am currently seeking a institution to finish my master's. Here is a video i am seeking comments on to see if this would be a valuable resource. Great stuff though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDfew0YcDTo Nate(EducationDynamics) Hey mike,

This is a difficult question to answer because the real answer is "it depends." Many employers recognize and respect degrees earned online while others do not. Here is a link to an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that references a book by pollster John Zogby who says that employers are rapidly changing to become more accepting of degrees earned online. I hope this might be useful to you in your research. http://chronicle.com/free/2008/08/4206n.htm Mike Mary, thanks for your post and question.

I want to change careers and online ed is really the only feasible way. Where can I find info on whether an online program's degree is acceptable or respected in the real world? I guess that info would be related to the employment placement rates of program? I have tried contacting programs directly but the only one that would give me a straight answer was GWU.
