So, what then, would make an online program undesirable? I think it's the TYPE of school that it is. For example, the Univ. of Phoenix (and not that I'm knocking this school or it's difficulty level, it's just the first example that comes to mind because it has ads EVERYWHERE) is seen as sort of a "diploma-mill" where you are basically paying for a piece of paper, which won't really help you much.
My school isn't a "diploma-mill" and I think obtaining my M.Ed here is actually helping me. Again, that was why I checked to be sure that my school was ACCREDITED. If I couldn't get that, then I wasn't applying. And it's accredited by the same people who grant accreditation to the school where I'm getting my B.A. from. I see what you're saying, but I don't think we should discredit ALL online schools/programs/etc.

My school works like DWAlphaGam's. There are two campuses and you can actually attend class or go the online route.
