For an ed program, though, yes, online only might not be as valuable an experience as actually going to class and interacting with professors/fellow students/students. Online programs are particularly difficult for students who need that interaction (aren't as big on the self-starting).
Also, typically Kaplan and Phoenix degrees are worth more (to your employer) when you already work there, if that makes sense.

So basically your opinion is that in my case a degree from a degree from the state school would benefit me more since I will be new to the field?
I did my current masters completely online so I'm familiar and comfortable with that format and the extreme self discipline "requirement" thats involved.
Thanks and keep the advice coming.
I love hearing different perspectives.
