Is there any online education where it dosen't show ur degree as online when hunting for a job?

i know this question maybe asked many times, but i suspect that online education is not as worthy as physical education when hunting for a job. so i would like a online university where it does not mentioned ';online education'; when getting my degree. can you help?Is there any online education where it dosen't show ur degree as online when hunting for a job?
The perception that an online degree is not as worthy as an on-campus degree came from the early online colleges that weren't accredited. This isn't the case anymore. In fact, most major colleges and universities have online programs now.





First, don't worry if the college says ';online'; or not. If an employer judges you by where you got your degree rather than judging you on your abilities, you don't want to work for them anyway. They are more interested in status than employees who actual provide useful skills.





Second, research the schools you are considering, and make sure they are accredited by the same organizations that most colleges are accredited by. I know there are some national accreditation agencies and several regional accreditation agencies that you should look for. See the link below.





Last, many online colleges hire the same instructors who teach their on-campus classes to teach online classes. I know this simply because I've done it. I've been teaching at the local community college for years, and I was asked to teach online classes for them as well. It's the same faculty. Plus, a lot of college classes are taught by adjuncts (part-time instructors). Most adjuncts teach at more than one college, so the person teaching your class could be teaching at Harvard as well for all you know.Is there any online education where it dosen't show ur degree as online when hunting for a job?
If this concerns you, select an institution that offers both traditional and on-line delivery methods.





Check out www.baker.edu out of Michigan.





They have a large brick and mortar campus as well as a 100% on-line degree program.





I rec'd my degree from the on-line program and my degree and transcript look just like those earned from the traditional program.





It is a very affordable program at about $180.00 per credit hour.





4 semesters per year with 6-week sessions per semester. If you can handle reading a ton of e-mail and blogs, on-line may be for you. But it is not a cake walk. There are a ton of assignments.





Not only does my Fortune 200 employer accept the degree, they paid for!
Everything The Grit says is true. I just wanted to add a few things. If you want a degree that doesn't indicate that you got it online, find a degree program at a state school. For example, an MBA degree from Florida State University has no mention of whether you completed the degree online or not. If you're looking for some good, inexpensive state schools, here are a few.





Fort Hays State University - http://www.fhsu.edu/virtualcollege


Peru State University - http://www.peru.edu/offuttafb/degreeprog鈥?/a>


University of Wyoming - http://outreach.uwyo.edu/ocp/





All of the above are between $130 and $140 per semester credit hour, doesn't matter where you live.





Good luck
