Online credentials are being generally accepted by employers as they are
being forced to broaden their views because more people are earning degrees
over the Internet. One nationwide survey estimates that 61% of employers find
online degrees up to standard, but not as credible as traditional degrees.
The question was posed to 239 employers of all sizes about their viewpoints
and observations toward online degrees. In spite of the feelings of some,
26% of employers find online bachelor's degrees as credible as offline ones.
Only 13% say online degrees are entirely objectionable. Fascinatingly, employers
seem more open-minded of online graduate degrees, with 37% saying they are
as reliable and credible as traditional graduate degrees.
Knowledge has always been seen as stepping stones to both survival and achievement
by many. There are powerful dynamics in modernization, employment, and business
change over the last couple of decades. A new awareness is coming regarding
the importance of life-long learning. Professions world-wide have improved
their continuing education protocols. People have devoted themselves in the
pursuit of advanced degrees even after entering the workforce to full-time
employment.
