Do universities and employers discriminate against people with an online degree?
#7
I'd suggest for the OP to go to LinkedIn and look up alumni and fellow students of your school to see what kind of jobs they've landed, what grad schools they've attended, and so forth. You can even narrow the search to find those with a specific degree. Of course, factors like the recession, career path, and other things come into play as to when grads land that dream job, but overall, I think it's a pretty helpful gauge.

Nine years ago when my sibling was getting an online bachelors, this question of credibility and/or discrimination was a lot more of an actual consideration. Today, he and all the classmates he knew have jobs that they "shouldn't have" according to the statistics and facts thrown around back then lol. One of those students got a full scholarship to Harvard Law. So I'm a big proponent of the idea that if you have enough gumption, you can overcome any of those stigmas and get your foot in just about anywhere.
