I'm not just talking accreditation, but quality, and proven graduate employability?

It depends on the employer and the degree. If you are earning a BSBA, BA, or AA typically those degrees can be learned as effectively online verses in class. You do miss some of the interaction, but I know many people who have obtained their MBA's and MS's online and have not had problems with it. Typically, if the school is considered for financial aid by the U.S. Dept. of State, they must be accredited by some state agency. It all boils down to brand name and generic. A degree from a state university and one earned from an Ivy League school, minus the stuffiness, are equal if the course is basically the same material. You just pay for going to "Harvard or Yale" vs. "Penn State or Florida State." Ask your employer if they have ever thought it a problem? Also, you may want to go to different online schools and ask for placement of their students after graduation. Ask if you can talk to some recent grads, they would tell you a lot more information that is truthful verses that which is propaganda.

none. employers don't generally think too highly of online degrees.
