Online Masters Degree Question

<p>Hello everyone. I currently am starting to think about graduate school and had a question regarding getting an online masters degree. I would like to pursue a MS in Applied Mathematics. However, there are not really any colleges within my state that offer such a program. However, after researching a bit I saw that the University of Washington offers a fully online MS Applied Mathematics degree. My question is how credible is a degree such as this compared to getting a on-campus degree? Also, would it be very hard to get into a PHD program with this degree? </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
