How Do Employers Regard Online Learning?
A survey released by Vault.com, a career network web site, showed that 83% of employers believed that online degrees were more acceptable now than they were five years ago. While 59% did not consider an online bachelor’s degree as credible as a traditional degree, they were still considered as being “acceptable.” 77 % of 239 HR professionals believed that an online degree from an accredited institution like Duke or Stanford was much more credible than one earned from an Internet-only institution. The numbers just go to show that if you can back up your choice of an online degree with proof of excellence, self-motivation and independent studying skills, employers will be willing to give you a fair chance.
