How Do Managers Rate On-line Universities?

Posted by Cliff on from the real-world-perception-of-online-degrees dept.

pstreck asks: "I've been going to a traditional university part-time for a couple of years now and am finding the pace slow, and classes to be at inconvenient times. So I have been considering transferring to one of the on-line universities like ACCIS or the University of Phoenix. How do you managers look upon a degree from one of these universities?"

    Some things, however, can't be taught particularly well from a distance -- like biology and chemistry, which usually require hands-on interaction with professors.

    I knew a girl who was taking chemistry and had some hands-on experience with her professor. Needless to say, she was expelled and the professor fired (he wasn't tenured).

    That depends on how much the university cost. I would be more willing to take seriously an online degree that took a couple years and several thousands of dollars to complete then a quickie diploma that cost a couple hundred bucks.

    Then have I got the course for you! Send me a couple of thousand dollars (cashier's check or money order please -- no personal checks) and I'll get back to you in a couple of years....
