I'm not really sure if online universities are all that credible just yet. I'm sure an employer would much rather pick a person with a degree from a accredited campus over a no-name online university.

yeah im not sure if it will credit the subjects that youll be taking online..but you can make a research on it..

who would want to go to an online university? college is a lot of fun and an awesome experience . just because everything is going virtual doesnt mean you have to too

Not everyone can take the time to come to a conventional class. My husband is taking his Masters in Public Administration entirely online, from a conventional university. If he were to attend the school, he would have to drive an hour and a half to get there, sit in classes, then drive back. For the two classes he takes each semester, that would be a minimum of six hours away from work, at least 2 days a week. Working people don't have that kind of time, and colleges don't offer classes on weekends, typically.

I'm attending the University of California, Irvine online. If I had to drive, it would be at least an hour each way if there was no traffic (yeah right!). Gas costs, parking fees would be pretty high. Plus, I work during the day and 2 nights a week (although I'm on summer break from my day job). Realistically, I couldn't do it otherwise. I do miss the interaction with other students and faculty. The online discussions are limited to what people are required to submit and not much more. I guess everyone else is busy as well. I like being able to read the lessons and other required reading, do the assignments and discussions on my schedule. I'm self-motivated so it's not hard for me. If you aren't, you could easily fall behind and end up unsuccessful. But that is true on campus as well.

I think it depends on the reason you are going to school. If you are going for an MBA, I think that it would be better to attend a physical class. The business world is all about networking and making connections, so what better place to do it that in an environment in which everyone has the same goals? Also, just the fact that you attend the same school could bring a sense of loyalty if a favor is ever needed in the future. Now if you are going to go into a field that is mainly independent research, I don't think an online degree is a bad idea. As long as the credentials check out, I think it could be a great time saver.

for undergrad, i would definitely say nothing compares to being on campus. learning book work then posting a requred response is fine and dandy, but from personal experience, the networking and interpersonal skills you recieve from the full college experience is what college is really all about and what employers really look for.

i still think the old method of teaching is still the best.

If I held an online degree would I get looked over for someone who held a degree from an actual university?
Thanks in advance!

The online university should be FULLY bricks-and-mortar accredited. An online degree from an established, reputed bricks-and-mortar university is what you should be looking for.

In short, no "University of Phoenix" and that ilk. No ITT Tech. The accreditation is vitally important, for the degree to be accepted both in working life and by other universities, should you choose to transfer credits.

If you take an online degree from, say, Harvard University, no one cares that it was online -- they only care that you got a degree from Harvard. See what I mean? But if you choose an all-online, non-accredited, of dubious value school like U of Phoenix, you are screaming "I got my degree online".
