<p>I'm thinking of pursuing an online degree in graphic design. Do you think employers view online degrees with the same worth as brick and mortar degrees?</p>
<p>Online degrees are not worth anything (for 99% of the time), don't bother really.</p>
<p>I agree with the previous poster that most on-line degrees are viewed with workinggreat skepticism as they tend to come from for-profit "diploma mills." </p>
<p>There are a few exceptions, however, and they are the on-line programs conducted by legitimate "brick-and-mortar" universities (as you put it). These are usually oriented towards non-traditional students such as those who are working full-time jobs. Also, many public universities use on-line courses to provide service to residents of rural areas.</p>
<p>For graphic design or any other visual arts, I would be very, very leery of following an on-line degree program, as I think you would lose an awful lot if you were not physically in a class exchanging ideas and getting feedback from your peers and instructors. It's the difference between attending a trade school and a "real" college.</p>
<p>Noobcake, can you tell me a little more about why you feel that way? It appears that you are a student, have you done a lot of research on this?</p>
<p>online classes are fine, at least to me, but online classes at an online school i'm not a fan of. lot of these universities now have some courses where you can take online, might be interested in that.</p>
