How much credibility do employers see in online degrees?

Also, do bosses see enough credibility in online master's degree to grant payraise to an employee who attains one besides working hard and doing a good job? Will employers consider someone who at least got an online degree from an accredited school if not a big name school? I'm thinking about getting an online master's since I need to keep steady with my current job. For any hiring managers or bosses who'll answer this post, what's your take?|||As far as I know on the actual degree there's no mentioning of an online degree. So nobody would know. You could have been going to school at night. Good luck.|||Accredited is better, but if you took the time to go to school while working full time, an online degree seems like a smart, reasonable option. Nothing to be looked down upon!





And, if you've been working hard, do a great job, and have advanced your education, it sounds like you should at least be considered for a raise and/or advancement.|||It should be fine as long as it's accredited. The only two I know of firsthand are San Jose state's MLIS degree, and Antioch college's online MFA program. Both are well-respected programs. I'm sure quality varies though, and don't even think about unaccredited programs like U of Phoenix - employers are on to them!|||To me an online degree is just as good or better than a regular one. This tells me you wanted to keep up with progress and the times. The raise however would depend on your work record with the company.|||iunno
