Will employers view an online masters degree the same as one taken in a classroom?
I am thinking about getting my masters degree and want to make sure that I don’t end up wasting my time and money. I don’t live close to a college and would prefer to take classes online due to my current schedule. Does anyone know how I can make sure that the program comes from an accredited and well ranked college? (a website) I already have a BS in Criminal Justice and plan to get my masters in that field. Any advice would be appreciated.
Will a fully accredited online Masters degree be enough to find a community college teaching position?
I’m thinking of going to Golden Gate University online program and when I’m done I will have two Masters Degrees one in finance and one in industrial psychology. The online degree is accredit by the WASC. I also have an undergraduate degree from a highly regarded institution. My work experience is relevant and somewhat impressive. I’m wondering if potential community colleges will discount my online degree? What will my prospects be like?
WASC = Western Association of Schools and colleges.

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges has jurisdiction over the states of California and Hawaii, territories of Guam, American Samoa, Micronesia, Palau, Northern Marianas Islands, Pacific Rim, East Asia and areas of the Pacific and East Asia where American schools or colleges may apply to it for service.
Is an online Masters degree as well received as a standard Masters? I want to get a MS in Library Science?
I have an undergraduate degree in English, and several graduate level credits in English and Education. I am a former public school English teacher. I want to pursue a Masters in Library Science, but will be residing in an area of Pennsylvania where there will not be a graduate program within commutable distance. Unfortunately due to work and commitments within my family, I will be unable to relocate to attend a university, and obtaining a Masters degree online is my only option. I don’t want to waste money on a degree that will not be marketable. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best online Masters degree programs for Library Science? There seems to be a large selection of Masters programs online.
