In my experience, fair or not, the online degrees help but aren’t looked at nearly on the same level as a four year college. What I’ve seen people do is go to the online colleges to obtain their masters degrees or finish up a major.

I am also looking to receive a degree online. I’m actually looking to obtain Dental Assisting Certification and I’m not having too much luck. As I have browsed the many Online / Independent Study programs, I am not sure which ones are legit and/or accredited. I have heard good things about University of Phoenix online. I have a friend that studied nursing there and obtained her LPN certification and now works at the largest hospital in our town. I also came across Penn Foster, but I am not too sure how legit it is for obtaining a job or even if they won’t take my money and run. I hope this helps a little.
A friend of mine did a BA in English Literature via Distance Learning (online) and, with this qualification, has managed to achieve her aim of relocating (she had been living in Italy for years and wanted to come back to Britain) and is now attending a one-year postgraduate teaching course.
In the UK the Open University is very well known and well thought of, and many people study in this way and go on to get jobs with their qualifications. Employers value the fact that that people have made a conscious effort to get a qualification.
Good luck!
Earning an on-line degree takes as much if not more effort than earning a degree in a traditional classroom.
I earned my degree from Baker College. Baker College offers both traditional classroom and 100% on-line degrees.
My degree and transcript look the same as the ones from the traditional classroom program.
Not only does my Fortune 200 employer accept the degree, they paid for it.
Check out http://www.baker.edu
It is one of the most affordable programs around at about $180.00 per credit our.
It is fast paced with 4 semesters a year, 2 6-week sessions per semester.
If using e-mail and reading blogs are easy/interesting to you, then an on-line education delivery method will suit you.
However, while the participation time is flexible, there is a ton of work product that is assigned.
Good luck.
