No, the schools offering online degrees are not respected by employers. Some state and community colleges offer some of their courses online, but your degree isn't totally online and doesn't have that taint of an online school.
Online schools are proprietary (for profit) and many are not accredited. check out any online school carefully and before giving them a dime, call some employers you'd like to work for and ask them what they think of that degree from that school.
good luck!

The colleges that offer completely online degrees aren't as respected by employers as traditional colleges. Sometimes these degrees can cost a lot of money, and aren't worth the paper they're printed on. The best thing to do is go to a respected college and if possible take a few classes online -- that's what I did.

I say yes and no.
I just graduated from Monroe College with my Assoc. in Bus. Admin... I took 3 classes at the actual school and the rest I took online. I really enjoyed the freedom, got an excellent education with an Honors degree (4.0 GPA) , but it wasn't all easy.
People who take classes online have to be self motivated (will you actualy do the readings/ assignments?) Yout dont have as much contact with the prof. but through chats and email. But you can "go to class" anytime. I did it at 2 in the morning when my daughter FINALLY went to sleep. I also had to go to the college to take my finals... so you can't cheat!!
You have to make sure that the college is accredited. I would say go through a local college that offers classes online. It really all depends on how much attention you need from the Prof. and how much you can rely on yourself.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!!! If you want split your classes... take half in the school and half online to see how you like it.

No, you don't get the college experience and also you don't learn as much.

I would have to go with no. there is definitely something about actually being in class and being able to converse with your professor and other students.
