It depends on the school you attended. If it was not a reputable school then many grad schools – and most of the strong ones – will not accept that degree. Some (usually lower tier) will. Most won’t. But if you did an online degree with a school that is highly reputable – which has a great rep for its brick and mortar campus – then yes, many grad schools will be okay with that. Some won’t, but many will.

In addition, be aware of any accreditation requirements that schools in your field must have. Your undergrad school, at a minimum, should have been regionally accredited in order for it to be acceptable, but some fields also require that undergrad programs have had certain types of professional accreditation. For example, if you studied engineering with a school that was regionally accredited but did not have ABET accreditation for its engineering programs, you are sunk.

So, online degree from Carnegie Mellon? You’re probably good. Online degree from U of Phoenix? Not so good.

I believe that most schools will accept an on-line degree the same way they would a traditional degree, provided it is an accredited program recognized in the country or accrediting body for the school you are interested in.

I base that on my research into the validity of on-line graduate school recognition and acceptance by major universities for employment purposes. Many of the major universities I looked at showed that a number of their professors obtained their graduate degrees at non-traditional universities, but that all of those non-traditional universities were accredited in the www.ope.ed.gov website.

With that said, the best way to be sure is to contact the admissions office at the graduate school(s) you are interested in and ask specifically how they would view your undergraduate background.

When you get that answer, make sure you get the name of the person answering the question, ask if that information can be found online at the school website, and document the information you receive. Very few things are as frustrating as wasting time and money as a result of bum information that we can not even document where we got it from when faced with a contrary situation!

I would like to know the same thing. I am starting my MBA next week, and some of the courses are offered online. I was wondering if this would make any difference to a potential employer. I think as long as the school you go to is accredited and is a reputable institution, you should be okay.

on line ranges supply convenience on the fee of credibility. that’s very authentic for graduate ranges. The alleged “graduate” could have surely cheated by utilising hiring an impostor to take the internet classes. as a result,ANY on line degree is seen somewhat bogus, whether from a official college. needless to say that’s a lot greater convenient for a pupil to cheat in an information superhighway software as against a monitored lecture room . Employers examine credentials and generally immediately reject activity applicants itemizing any on line degree or any for-earnings college. regrettably, DeVry and Strayer fall into the two a sort of very unfavorable categories. additionally be conscious that basically via fact a faculties on-campus courses have accreditation, that would not immediately mean that their on line courses have the comparable point of accreditation-if any. No on line software may well be as good via fact the training journey and private interplay of surely lecture room attendance. do no longer waste it sluggish and funds on some on line software it relatively is genuinely no longer standard interior the activity industry. in case you could no longer attend usual instructions, then evaluate night or weekend instructions at a properly respected college-no longer some on line college.
