However, if people ask where I got my Masters, I simply tell them it was Regis Univ. and not explicitly tell them it was online. I took the online version due to time constraints with work and home, but I took the same classes as those in the physical building. If you are catching flak from it, just tell them the school. People dont need to be privvy to the fact that you did it online as opposed to in a class. Aside from that, the number of online enrollments is skyrocketing. Soon enough, people will completely accept it, and not even give it a second thought. I received my Masters degree through an online program.

I basically questioned the value of his degree, he "told on" me, and I got into trouble. But then, to make it even funnier, he's looking for an online PhD! Some online degrees are wastes of money. There are a lot of disreputable firms to beware of. I don't think online degrees help with many jobs. If the institution is not known for offline degrees as well, then it's likely not well thought of. But what you can do is take the credits from the first half, and move to campus for the last part. If you can't transfer the credits to an online campus, well, then it was a bad choice, sorry. You don't put it on your cv/resume unless you were doing nothing else at that time. They shouldn't bad mouth you for it though. You may have been taken for a ride, but you learn from your mistakes. And if you learned something from the classes, well, it's the knowledge you use, not the degree. I didn’t take an offline degree myself yet, but I found a real jerk who trashed online degrees.
