Is an online college degree treated the same as an actual university degree?


I want a couple different bachelor’s degrees, and I was wondering if Online College Degrees (like the university of phoenix) are treated the same when applying for a job? Because with working a full time job, and already going to school full time, I don’t have time for anymore on campus classes, so an online school sounds tempting for one of the degrees I want. Did I lose everyone already?

Your degree will not state whether your classes where taken one way or the other. It will simply have the name of the university/college.

There are a bunch of traditional schools that offer courses online. Maybe looking at a community college or small school to save on costs may help. The key is to find a program that is fully accredited. Distance Learning Alliance has a list of these traditional online schools. Look at that if you are truly concerned with the name of the school. Good luck on your search!

No, they are not nearly as good. Sorry, it’s better than nothing, but nothing is as good as a real university except a real university

They are absolutely not the same. I wouldn’t consider someone to be qualified for a degreed position with an online degree.
