Content: There are still some more traditional employers who may not accept online degree credentials, however. These are people who are resistant to change and traditional in terms of education and qualifications. But they are increasingly in the minority in recent years, the evidence suggests. Factors That Make Online Degrees Credible
There is little doubt that online degrees are generally more accepted today than they were a decade ago. But not every online degree is created the same. If you are looking at an online bachelor’s or master’s program, employers report that there are several very important factors that make online degrees increase in credibility. There are still ‘diploma mills’ out there that churn out largely worthless degrees that are ‘accredited’ by unknown bodies of little value. You can avoid wasting time and money on these worthless degrees by focusing on what makes an online degree credible in the eyes of employers: University Reputation
An online degree from a well-known, respected university that has been around for 100+ years will always be viewed more favorably than an online degree from a school that started in 2005. Students who want a credible online degree should select a program from a university that has both on campus and online degree options, and is well known.
