Are Online Degrees as Respected as Traditional Degrees?

Updated: Nov 5, 2019


You’re probably asking yourself, what’s the difference between online degrees and traditional degrees? You might also heard that online degrees weren’t as respected as traditional.


Number one question would be, Does Employers Respect Online Degrees?


Online education was once an oddity and the value of an online degree was uncertain at best. In recent years, traditional, residential, high schools, colleges and universities have begun offering college, and high school courses through online learning. More than one-third of High Schools offer degrees entirely online.


According to a recent study conducted by Online Learning Consortium,

· More than one in four students (28%) now take at least one online course.

· Public institutions command the largest portion of online students, with 72.7% of all undergraduate and 38.7% of all graduate-level distance students.

· The total of 5.8 million fall 2014 distance education students is composed of 2.85 million taking all their courses at a distance and 2.97 million taking some, but not all, distance courses.


Unlike a decade ago, most employers are now embracing online education. As more and more trusted schools offer online degree programs, respect continues to grow. Online education is no longer an oddity, but the norm as online course enrollment climbs for the 10th straight year.


According to a survey conducted by CareerBuilder.com, 83 percent of executives say that “an online degree is as credible as one earned through a traditional campus-based program.”


An online learning study conducted by the United States Department of Education addressed the topic of online vs traditional face-to-face- learning at the higher education level.

The study, undertaken from 1996-2008, concluded the following:

1. Online higher education is more effective than traditional face-to-face learning.

2. Hybrid/Blended learning (online learning combined with traditional learning) is the most effective.

3. Face-to-face learning alone is the least effective method of among the three types of learning methods studied.


If you’re looking to go back to school online, make sure the online school has Accreditation.
