其次，菲利普斯建议，应当将搜索的重点放在你所在的州、或地区雇主熟悉的州立大学或私立实体大学提供的远程教育课程，或者是那些在你所在的行业有特别良好声誉的大学。“无论学校有什么样的名声，它都会延伸到网络课程上，”她指出。“因此，雇主认可的‘名牌’远比学位是通过网络教学、还是面授教学获得的这个问题更为重要。”

    反馈：如果你已经获得了网络教育学位，你是如何选择课程的？如果你是雇主，你会怀疑求职者的网络教育证书吗？欢迎发表评论。

    Second, Phillips recommends you concentrate your search on long-distance degree programs offered by state universities or private brick-and-mortar schools that are likely to be familiar to employers in your state or region, or that have a particularly solid reputation in your industry. "Whatever reputation a school has will carry over to its online-degree programs," she notes. "So a 'brand name' an employer recognizes and respects will matter a lot more than whether you earned the degree online or in person."

    Talkback:If you've earned a college degree online, how did you choose which program? If you're an employer, would you look askance at a job candidate's online sheepskin? Leave a comment below.
