<p>I'm not quite sure where this should be posted, but what is your opinion on a Masters of Accounting degree from Keller Graduate School (Devry University) as opposed to a traditional graduate school? Keller offers a masters in accounting and financial management as a combined degree (a 2 for 1 deal in a way), but its pricier than a state school.</p>
<p>Would future employers frown upon a degree from Devry as opposed to a traditional school?</p>
<p>Although I am not at all on the Prestige Bandwagon that many other CC posters seem to be willing to ride all the way to personal bankruptcy, I am not at all sold on online degrees. You can easily go to a state school, or even a private school, and get an affordable MBA and probably take some of your classes online while you are at it.</p>
<p>It depends. In cases where your experience is so strong (for the position) that where you got your degrees cease to matter. On the other hands, a better-recognized degree may make you stand out. </p>
<p>My advise is skip Keller and go to your state/private school with good local/regional reputation. Half of the value proposition for pursuing an MBA is networking which is most easily established through in-person interaction. The 100% online format just doesn't quite do it.</p>
<p>I've taken Devry Online course even though it's not business class once. All I can say is it's much better to take classes at your local community college than Devry. Also, based on my experience going to Devry, the quality of education is not much better than self learning (make sure to do the practice problem in the book too) Of course the good thing with taking online course is you will get the diploma when you're done.
I think I wasted a good $4000 on 1/2 semester at devry before I finally dropped out.
It's not worth it.</p>
