The answer is it depends on the school. Every school has different requirements for graduate admissions. Schools like TESU, UMPI, and COSC have a physical campus and no one knows if you completed your degree in person or online. WGU doesn't have a campus so it's easy to assume it was completed online. Now schools like Purdue Global and UMass Global tell you with their name that they're online schools.
In my experience, my GPA was far more important than where I completed my bachelor degrees from. Essays and letters of recommendation are also important in admissions especially if you want to get into the Ivies or school in that caliber. If you want to go to MIT, then you better have the science and math background needed.
My grades alone, would get me into Cornell which isn't far from me. I wouldn't put myself through that rigorous of a program at this point in my life though. I'm not in my 20's so the ROI isn't going to be the same. I also enjoy having a life. I know people who've gone to Cornell and other Ivies and it's no joke.
