No, it is a one man journey as far as learning the material. To be honest, it wasn't that much new info, just more in-depth. There were three courses alone in HRM, how many different ways can one say the same thing?
Since I retired from the Air Force, I have decided to go it alone and start a business so I won't be using any of my degrees after all. If something goes sour with the business, its always good to know I have a very sound plan B.
As to your question about how the degree is received by potential employees, check out this link

I think you'll agree that there are quite a few fortune 500 companies that honor their degree. In fact, many of these same companies send their managers there to get their Masters.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions, Lee
