Overseas DL Graduate degrees

I am starting to think about DL graduate classes and wanted to know if overseas degrees are well accepted in the US business world. If I have an MS from the University of London, for example, will it be recognized as an RA equal? Is it an RA equal? I used U of London just as an example but I do mean any school that is outside the US.
I don't want to earn an accredited graduate degree and have to defend/explain it. Thanks.

 

Here in California there are hordes of people with foreign degrees. Most of them are foreign nationals and immigrants, but their degrees certainly are widely accepted. Many Americans study abroad. So I'd say that in general, foreign degrees are fine. But there may be a few issues:

If you study abroad you need to be comfortable with the idea that your school may not be a household name in the US, that your employer may not know how to verify its standing, that its standards and terminology may not be fully understood, and that it will pretty obviously be a DL degree.

None of that is fatal though, or even close. It's just an additional hassle.

 

As a missionary, most of my contact is with churches and universities associated with them. I know of one Psychologist who practices in Texas with a Psychology PhD from India (I think the University of Bombay, but I am not sure). He is American, not even of Indian descent. He earned the degree while serving as missionary in India.
Another professor at Abilene Christian University (actually, I think he is retired) has his PhD in Religion from the University of Natal in South Africa.
My point is that these degrees are accepted. It would be beneficial to you to have a quick answer for how a potential employer could verify their legitimacy, but otherwise, they will serve you well, in my opinion.
In fact, I have recently verbally committed (both here on this discussion board and to UNIZUL) to work on my MA in English with the University of Zululand in South Africa.

As a former interviewer and hirer for a large company (for jobs having a requirement) my acceptance of a non-US earned degree would include an assessment of the country granting the degree. For example, I would rank an engineering degree from Germany higher than one from a less developed country. The same for a business degree.
