    The Best part of the article i liked

    When asked directly, well-known Fortune 500 companies such as Intel and Wal-Mart said they'd accept online degrees, provided they come from regionally accredited programs.

    However, DETC was quoted somewhat favorably later, amidst an evolution of thought in hiring practicies as HR offices become more accepting of non B&M degrees.

    I also find it interesting that the sponsor of the ads to the left advertise Kennedy-Western :)

    Bottom line seems to be distance degrees are becoming more accepted, as biases against name-brand schools and even RA to some extent are being jettisoned in favor of better scrutiny of an overall employee's credentials.

    One further point I forgot to make....It seemed as though the article only made reference to Bachelor's degrees.
