I don't have any factual information to support what I'm about to say, so please understand that it is only my opinion. The types of situations that Lil mentions accredited universities offering an internet option I feel are more credible than those that are strictly online options (Western Kennedy and Univ of Phoenix online come to mind here). I believe the magical word is ACCREDITED, and as far as I am aware Western Kennedy is not, which is why they offer significant "credit hours" for "experience". I know someone who will have a bachelors degree within one year and $8,000 with no prior course work, but they are giving significant credits for years of working. I believe working is valuable experience, just as education is, but they are different. Afterall, education is typically theory, and working is reality, and ideally the two provide a nice compliment to each other, but not in many fields can you justify that work can replace a textbook in my mind.

I also took a few courses online when I relocated, one was strictly online, discussion, group projects, papers, etc. It fit the medium well as it was an ethics course, I felt the discussions were more honest and candid online than they would have been in a traditional classroom. And groupwork was manageable, even though we were scattered about the US, it just required dedication and flexibility.

Best of luck with whatever you decide, one suggestion I would make is ask a prospective employer how they view the program you consider.
