Online Degrees

Online degrees have gained acceptance among employers over the last decade. Trust in the internet as a delivery method has translated into trust in online degrees. A rise in the number of established brick and mortar schools offering online degrees has heightened public acceptance. The key factors to public acceptance are that the online degree must come from an accredited institution and the university must have a brick and mortar presence.

Online degrees from Universities that lack a brick-and-mortar location earn the lowest approval marks. Internet only universities have yet to prove themselves. Employers tend not to trust universities that operate distance-learning programs only.

Online degrees tied to large public universities receive the highest approval from employers. Penn State, New Jersey Institute of Technology, California State University, The university of Maryland and Indiana University have the most widely known online degree programs, but many other schools have developed programs in the past few years.

The cost of online degrees and the amount of time it takes to receive degrees vary widely. Costs range from $2,500 to $30,000 year. Some schools boast that a masters degree can be earned in as little as 15 months entirely over the internet, while other schools require time spent on campus and can take as long as 3 years to earn a masters degree. Do your homework; explore not only the schools websites, but other websites offering opinions and comparisons.
