I have many queries before i decide if to get my degree online. How do employers view distance learning degrees? Can I get a job with it?

I earned a degree from an online college and it was the same diploma given to the students who attended traditional classes in the same college. I went for my graduation ceremony too. I have been able to get a job with it and my employers didn't ask if if the college was online or not. But I learned something important is to ensure you get your degree from an accredited college or else it's a big risk.

Jamini,

It varies so it is best to check with your HR department to get their determination. My current employer will NOT reimburse an online course or acknowledge a degree earned online.

However, my last employer would pay for and accept online degrees.

This is such a double-edged sword.

HR being the one department in a typical company which promotes E-Learning, yet also being the same department which calls into question the validity of E+ distance learning (lol!)
