Need Help with Deciding on an Online Accounting Masters Program

[Yanji]

Thanks Yanji. That is what I was thinking too. The only thing is that it is not in my home state. I'm in New Jersey. Not terribly far from Connecticut. Do you have an idea how a degree from another state would be viewed by local employers? Rider University is in my state but it's more expensive. I'm wondering if a school like Uconn would have local connections in NJ as far as job prospects or if schools only have connections in their home state.

UConn could probably connect you to a current student/alumnus in NJ who could give you his/her opinion, but in my experience with graduate business programs, their networks and connections tend to be regional, if not national, except for the smallest schools. CT is practically next door to NJ, so I'd imagine that they'd have a good network there. If it was UConn vs Rutgers, I'd go with Rutgers, but Rider is a pretty small school and I think UConn's network would at least be competitive to theirs in NJ.
