Bachelor's Degree
With the coming of technology and high speed
internet access, it was only a matter of time before schools started
to migrate to the online world for their extension and distance
learning programs. However, soon this technology gave rise to
schools offering online bachelor degrees - something that most
people had never dreamed about up until recently. These programs
give practically anyone the opportunity to receive the college
education they had always wanted, but do employers value online
degrees as highly as they look upon those who earned their degree at
a brick and mortar institution?
The answer is yes. A majority of employers will simply not care
where you got your degree - so long as you have one. This means that
online bachelor degrees are every bit as good as those that you
would have received from a normal school in a building somewhere as
far as most employers are concerned.
However, there are those companies and other institutes of higher
learning that you may be thinking of for graduate work, who are
stuck in their snobbery and refuse to acknowledge an online bachelor
degree as a real degree. If you are considering an online education
and you want to work for a prestigious company after you graduate,
you may want to think twice about that degree - especially in the
business or law field.
All in all, it really boils down to how well you do in school and
how prestigious the online school you attended was. There are a lot
of online schools that are known as degree mills - they take your
money, you do very little work, and you get a degree after a year or
two. These kinds of schools are the most likely to be frowned upon
by employers and graduate schools. But as far as the rest of the
online schools go, their online bachelor degrees are just as good as
if you were to go to your local state college instead.
