I didn’t mean to disparage online degrees. I don’t know much about them. It wasn’t the online part of Rabbi Booch’s question that was problematic, it was the “quick and easy” part. A four year bachelor’s program that actually takes four years and involves research and study and exams, may be worth the equivalent of an “on campus” program for a graduate school. I have taken distance education programs in the past (in the precomputer era), but they did involve traveling for opening seminars that lasted several days, then submitting monthly papers to a preceptor. At the end of the program – after submitting 12 papers, there was a closing seminar of several days and an exam. After all of this expense and work, I received a certificate. This was not for a university degree – just a post grad nursing management program.
