Purdue Global or SNHU

[ss20ts]

From what I've read (outside of DF) opinions on both schools seem to be mixed. There are some strong negative opinions of Purdue Global not being a legitimate part of the Purdue system, re-branded Kaplan, etc. Again, I'm just looking at these two schools because they would be paid for. I want this last hurdle to result in a career change that I'm happier with and to not be a wasted effort.

I'll say that in my experience interviewing, employers seem to view "Purdue Global" as "online Purdue" rather than "Kaplan rebranded." Unless you're in Indiana, few people not knee-deep in online degree knowledge are going to have a clue about PUG's linage. 

No idea about the quality of the two programs, but wanted to state what I've found about how people perceive the PUG name.

My husband's experience is the same with PUG. In fact, he was told by several managers and co-workers to attend PUG over TESU and WGU because they know the Purdue name. They just felt like it was Purdue Online and had no idea about the Kaplan drama. We're not anywhere near Indiana. He completed the BS in Analytics and has worked in healthcare IT for decades so this was a check the box kind of thing. He has since been given an increase in pay due to being a data science expert. I don't understand half of what he does at work, but it pays well!

Marketing is a hard field to break into for whatever reason. The pay isn't spectacular either until you're really far up the chain unfortunately.
