    UPenn also offers a MCIT which is a Masters in Computers and Information Technology. It is done 100% online.

    That would be a nice offering. I know when I was looking for a Masters of Science in Finance program there were a lot of universities who were offering it. Surely you can find one that fits the bill for you! :)

    I know we've discussed before the Yale PA program (MMSc), which is branded as "online" although it requires three week long residences as well as didactic preceptorships at health care facilities local to the student.

    The Yale Doctor of Nursing Practice is a hybrid program with an online component. https://nursing.yale.edu/academics/doctor-nursing-practice/learn-online-campus

    Princeton Online, as far as I could tell from my sprint through the site, is a bunch of MOOCs that students can take as they feel interested. I did not see and full degree programs/certs but I didn't look very hard either.

    USC offers MSW online.
    The MSW@USC is a Council on Social Work Education (CSWE)-accredited online MSW program that prepares you to become a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW).
    The USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work: a top-ranked graduate school by U.S. News & World Report (2019).
    Most Ivy League students likely consider USC to be on par with other top universities.
    While Ivy League is an atletic coalition of 8 schools (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale), USC is in the Pac-10 athletic conference.

    My colleagues at Cornell refer to the broader group as "Ivy Plus." It includes schools like MIT, Duke, USC, Stanford, UChicago and Hopkins.

    I don't know how snobby Ivy League students are but it's quite possible that they would not see USC as being on the same level as say, MIT or Stanford. I'd have to actually do some research to give a final answer but I'm not sure I'd put USC on the same level as MIT. I think most ranking systems would agree (whatever that's worth).

    I don't think anyone is going looking that closely to see "Online". I actually had to look down to see it. After your certificate I think your work product should speak for itself. I'm saving up to do their Accelerated Management program.

    Agreed. There's no need to put online!

    It seems like you are perpetuating the stigma that online is inferior to classroom based learning. Otherwise you wouldn't care if "online" was specified.
