I don’t know about any of those schools. My experience was in Southern New Hampshire. It is a private traditional school that is heavy in the online game like all of those you listed. Overall I would say that online classes will have a writing intensive weekly discussion in each course no matter the school. I completed an accounting program that had classes that required real work, and others not so much. some classes were structured with 1-2 homework weekly assignments In addition to weekly assignments some courses will require 8-15 page papers that will spend lots of time on. Success in an online program depends on how seriously you take it. Getting hired should be based on your actual knowledge.

This is not unique to online programs, at brick and mortar schools in any program there will always be courses that you have to really grind it out, and others that require little more than showing up. Multiple sections of the same course can vary dramatically in difficulty depending on the person teaching it.
