I’m thinking of going to Golden Gate University online program and when I’m done I will have two Masters Degrees one in finance and one in industrial psychology. The online degree is accredit by the WASC. I also have an undergraduate degree from a highly regarded institution. My work experience is relevant and somewhat impressive. I’m wondering if potential community colleges will discount my online degree? What will my prospects be like?
WASC = Western Association of Schools and colleges.

I’m an foreigner living in Thailand, and would like to enroll in an Asia Studies program that is offered by a foreign university. There are Thai universities that offer such programs, but I’m not interested in them, as many of the Thai universities are not internationally accredited. Thanks for your time.

Do employers take degrees from accredited online universities seriously? I am thinking of taking my last two years of classes through an online program but I am hesitant. Does anyone have any advise or expertise about the validity of online degrees?
