Each of their program costs over $50,000 USD. Not sure if it's worth paying that much for an online degree.

Ouch, I just noticed that pricing too. Reminds me about the 2U.com programs, they partner with well known schools, but the tuition just doesn't get discounted at all... I highly still would recommend coursera, edx, futurelearn, udacity and upgrad instead as there are significant discounts. Since I mentioned 2U - here's their partner list: https://2u.com/partners/ and another site powered by them: https://teach.com/

What does it being online even matter in 2021?

It matters. When I say I'm doing an online degree, my employers didn't like it at all.

Unless they are paying. There is no need to bother about their interest.

I attended Stevens back in the early 2000s as an engineering undergrad. They have a good name in the engineering and research arenas, but a good portion of their name's value is the connections you make as a student with faculty and other students. I'm almost positive the ROI isn't there for an online masters at the price they're charging.

American employers? American employers who think that way would be terrible people to work for, IMO.

Sounds like they live under a rock, especially considering how Coronavirus in 2020 forced most classes to be online and things haven't really changed in many places since.

Yeah - everyone should be on board at this point - otherwise it would be beyond ridiculous.

But even before Covid, I'm not sure why you would even tell your employer you were getting an online degree.  How would they know?  Why would they care? I could go to my local school here and do a fully online degree without anyone being the wiser.
