Has anyone taken on-line college courses and graduated?

I see a lot of ads for University of Phoenix and so many other online course for a Master Degree in business and other fields. Was wondering if anyone had any success with on-line courses. What college did you attend? Did they help you with employment? How did you transfer your credits from other colleges? Did it make you more marketable? What degree did you end up with? I have a Business Administration Degree B.S. Degree. Would like something in Business but would rather concentrate in one area. Any ideas would be great. I live in the Orlando Florida area. Thanx.

M.S. or Ph.D for engineering?

I’m presently an undergrad in Computer Engineering (with a focus on digital hardware) and I’m looking at grad school applications now and trying to determine whether it makes sense to apply for the doctoral programs or simply go for the Master’s degree. The advise I have found online seems to fall into two primary - contradictory - camps.
1. For engineering, only go for the masters degree, particularly if you’re not interested in going into Academics. Otherwise you may price yourself out of the market.
2. Go for the PhD, you’ll find it easier to get into schools and get funded.
I’m interested in adding a level of art to what I know, but I also want to deepen my knowledge of the core of EE, namely linear/non-linear circuit theory, feedback systems and analog design (which seems to be an art unto itself). MIT’s Media Lab is one such place where this seems like it may be possible, but finding other programs - particularly ones that may provide funding - has been challenging. Would it be wiser to stick to the more traditional EE route (which I do thoroughly enjoy.) or continue on trying to find other programs that are more focused on what I want to eventually do?
So, boiled down - Does it make sense to go for the MS or PhD? and should I focus more closely on programs that fit what I want, or go the more traditional EE route?
