When I make hiring decisions, I don't have any information about the particular professors an applicant had.  I have to just make generalizations based on probability  And the probability is that someone with a "real" degree got a better education than someone with an online degree, so that's who I'm more likely to hire.  Are there exceptions?  Absolutely.  But I get too many resumes across my desk to figure that out on a case by case basis.[/quote]

That attitude makes an excellent case for earning a degree from a school with a bricks and mortar presence, that doesn't show on a transcript which classes were taken in person and which were taken on-line.

[b]In about 7 years, though, I predict this attitude will have fallen by the wayside.  There is a sea change coming in higher education.   We need to prepare students for the real world and the real world, more and more, is highly connected and communicates online[/b].[/quote]

Perhaps.  :lol: [/quote]
