If it is offered by an actual University that has a regular campus and also offers traditional degrees it might be considered legitimate. However there are also a lot of degree mills out there which many employers will not consider legitmate, and if you get hired with a degree from a school like this and they investigate and find it is not a legitmate university they may fire you for it. Check the school's accredidation. If it is legitmate it should be accreditted by a recognized organization. Make sure you check this information out BTW as any can claim to the accreditted.

You would think that if it was an accrredited school employers would view it as legitimate, however many don't and it IS a form of discrimination. Also, if you ever decide to go for a M.A. some schools will not accept transfer credits from schools that are only online. I would go with the suggestion that you find a school with an actual campus and do online classes through them. Your diploma will not have an astrick next to it saying that you did all online classes, so potential employers won't have to even know.

As long as it's an accredited college there should be no reason to discriminate against it. I actually just started my first set of classes through the University of Phoenix. Its been great! Alot of work just like in a traditional classroom, but otherwise great. I told the principal at the school I work for about it and he commended me for continuing my education and suggested that I continue to get my BA from University of Phoenix after I finish my AA. So far UOP has been a great experience, I would definetely recommend it.

Yes, I currently attend one of those schools.
Employers actually look up to those type of degrees because it demonstrates your ability to work independently under pressured deadlines.
I wish I had the link that I read this from on msn.com
Anyways, I am currently going to a school that has an awesome staff, awesome student body, and the software interface for the books/classroom/library are wonderful.
I am working towards my bachelors degree in business.
