“A new survey by Vault Inc. finds that 85% of employers feel that online degrees are more acceptable today than they were five years ago. But online degree holders are still not quite on equal ground with those who have traditional degrees.
Although a majority of the 107 employers surveyed by Vault Inc. said they would favor job applicants who got their college degree from a traditional school, 45% of those polled said they would give candidates with online degrees equal consideration as those with traditional degrees.
Additionally, 86% of employers said they would be open to hiring someone with an online degree, with the remaining 14% feeling that an online degree, whether it was a bachelors or graduate degree, was unacceptable.”
