Regionally accredited Online degrees are the same accreditation as other schools.
Due to the nature of online courses, your in class participation is usually replaced with electronic bulletin board discussion participation on a platform such as Blackboard or ECollege, team projects, or live chats.
The assignments are submitted electronically, usually in Microsoft Word or Excel to be graded by the instructor.
Depending on the University, Exams are taken at an on campus testing center or sent electronically to a pre-approved proctor who is their when you take the exam.
Whether to take it or not depends on your preference. Online courses take more discipline to self start on assignments. It’s a matter of whether you can prefer/need to have a live instructor or can read / comprehend independently and email an instructor when questions come up.
I work for one of the largest employers in the state and we accept all qualified candidates with regionally accredited degrees, regardless of the format.
If you want to get an online degree, look into bonafide schools in your area. Many real colleges offer distance education and you can earn most or all of your degree online. You will be admitted as a regular student and will have to get all the books, go through all the admissions processes, but atleast you will earn a real degree that any employer will recognize. There is no such thing as a quick degree and if it sounds to good to be true, you need to stay away.
