Re:What a PhD Really Means in the US National Security Commu... by pc86 on Thursday January 28, 2016 @11:22AM (#10989053)
You're probably in a great position in that your institution is very well known and well regarded, obviously not 100% online, and even the program is not 100% online. Unless you mention it or you've got concurrent employment several states away, it's unlikely anyone would know you completed it online.

I'm not saying online PhDs should be the norm, or even shouldn't be questioned, but doing something for 30 hours a week over 5 years at a computer shouldn't on its face be worthless compared to doing the same thing for 60 hours a week over 2.5 years in a school building.
