Are online degrees respected?
From an accredited institution, an online degree carries the same accreditation, the same diploma, and increasingly the same recognition as its on-campus equivalent. What actually varies between programs is the outcome — earnings, completion, and debt — which is exactly what our rankings measure. Accreditation first; outcomes second; marketing never.
