Do employers actually respect online degrees?
You can get MBAs or Masters in Data Analytics from Univ of Miami, Maryland, UNC, GA Tech, Columbia University, among others

It's a good institution, just small D1. You can save money, time & pick what you want. Unless you want a specific degree, why go thru the hassle? Most jobs are looking for just a bachelor's. Just my opinion.
Tons of great jobs out there that just requires a bachelor's. Especially in HR, management & business jobs. Your military experience will back that up with leadership, and whatever you did. Like I said, I did recruiting while I was in and that covers experience I need, along with QA and tons of schooling.

Good to me is 50+. I'm fine in life and have a work from home job right now. If your life is different, than good for you, but I'm happy and will be with a decent job that I'm happy at.

I hate to say it but I laugh at these on line degrees from no name universities.
Nearly all major colleges offer them. You want your interviewer to say so where is EIU ?

Im not an online student and my resume will clearly say Eastern Illinois University.
Youre probably a saints fan and dont know sean peyton, was a player there. You probably eat at Jimmy Johns and not know that it was started by an EIU student. Tony Romo, Jimmy Garrapolo, and many other highly regarded professional athletes.
Im happy where I am and confident in my abilities.

Don't waste your money on/beware of these shitty "for-profit" schools that are just trying to take your GI bill without giving you a viable degree.
GCU is a non profit school. That has a brick and mortar location(even has dorms) in Phoenix. It is the largest Christian university in the world.

If I am not mistaken, wasn't GCU a for-profit school not too long ago?
Posted on 1/15/19 at 8:41 pm to CobraCommander83
Yes, originally was non profit when it opened in 1949. Then for profit in 2004. Back to non profit July 2018.

I liked the information the GCU rep gave me over the weekend. I'm still researching some other schools to see what might be the best fit for me but I think GCU will be in my top 3.

I did by BSN through them. Graduated April 2017. What made me choose them was that GCU had a deal with my hospital. I got discounted tuition cause of it. Also...they did direct billing to my hospital for my tuition reimbursement. So that just made things easier as well.
Even though I live like 20-30 minutes from campus I did my entire program online. Only time I ever stepped on campus was for my graduation. I met people at my graduation that did online programs as well but traveled from their home state to participate in the graduation(met some from Alabama, Oregon, Mississippi, Texas, all over).

Don't do it.
You're going to be putting in the hard work. You might as well do it from a traditional brick and mortar online program. Some won't hold it against you, but some absolutely will.

fwiw, I don't think you will save either time or money by going the on-line route. you should certainly try to finish out your education, but don't think that online is any kind of shortcut, from what I have been told.
