I have Degrees from both “go to” and “online” universities and they are very equivalent. The only thing you need to do is make sure your University is regionally accredited. The accreditation committee is the group that says that their degrees are rigorous enough to meet the standards for that degree.

I got my AS, BS, MA, and now my MDiv all online. They are from regionally accredited schools and not employer has ever questioned my credentials. I also teach on-ground classes so I know a thing or two about the system. However, online classes are NOT easier than on-ground classes. Make sure you are disciplined enough to follow through. Remember, you are paying for this education. Learn something.
