Content: Are online degrees respected by employers? According to a study on online degrees, employers are more likely to consider the reputation of the institution from which the degree was earned as opposed to the medium of education. Online college degrees are no different from those earned in a traditional campus-based environment. In fact, many online college degree programs undergo the same stringent tests as traditional degree programs to gain accreditation. Additionally, employers who have taken online courses are more likely to prefer candidates with online degrees due to the perception that online degree programs can build soft skills in students. The study concludes by stating that as more and more employers have online degrees themselves, the acceptance of online education is rising. What is the earning potential by degree level?
