<p>Is getting a degree in education frowned upon by employers? Is it hard to find a job? I am taking a course online and it is harder then the brick and mortar school. Anybody that has an online degree please let me know.</p>
<p>Well, they usually do treat people from University of Phoenix or other well known online schools different..</p>
<p>If you're taking online classes at...NYU for example, they'll never know. It will look like an NYU diploma.</p>
<p>Just back from watching my sister graduate from the brick-and-mortar campus of Ashford University (<a href="http://www.ashford.edu)%5B/url%5D">www.ashford.edu)</a>. There were something like 50 on-campus students at the ceremony, and another 200 who were graduating from the on-line programs had driven and flown in from all over the country. I have no idea how many more distance graduates there were who couldn't get there in person.</p>
<p>For those needing a place to transfer to for a BA or BS, Ashford accepts up to 90 (yes, ninety) semester hours of credit. Depending on your major field, and previous studies and CLEP, etc. credits, you could be done in about a year.</p>
<p>Make certain that the program you enroll in has regional accreditation, and it should be fully equivalent to an "on-campus" degree.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
