“The majority of surveyed HR professionals said they think online degrees are viewed more favorably today than five years ago,” said Mark Schmit, director of research at the society. “And a growing number see individual courses taken online as equally credible to courses taken at traditional universities.” Most hirers said they will consider the online schools’ reputations and certifications to help decide how much value they’ll give to applicants’ education credentials. The survey also noted that it’s getting harder to distinguish between online and traditional educators, as more online companies are offering classroom locations and brick-and-mortar schools are offering online programs.
