That is a first: North Texas and UT Dallas land equal to WGU in Cali unless there is a personal connection to Texas, and even then neither is moving the needle unless you played sports.

I doubt that. WGU has a reputation for being 100% online, a lot of people think it's a for-profit college, and word has gotten out that people have finished master's degrees in three months. In general, an unknown public university that's traditional will get less scrutiny than an online university. 

In certain fields, UNT and UT Dallas are actually highly-regarded. UNT is well-known for its jazz program having produced Grammy nominees, and UTD is well-ranked in criminology. Regardless of where you are in the country, professionals will be aware of which schools are highly-regarded in their field. Texas State University is a podunk university, but it attracts top applicants for professor positions in the School of Criminal Justice, and they are one of the major training centers for active shooter situations.

Such an exciting niche for UNT and UT Dallas, and other than Jazz professionals or enthusiasts, not a lot to hold on to after that. Business schools outside the top tier don't move the needle unless you are leveraging at a corporation with an alum. Once the box is checked, your talent and interview skills will outway most degrees.

Most HM have little emotional influence from where you earned your degree. Your degree matters early in your career, and your experience devalues it more and more over time. Of course, an MBA or Doctorate will always represent value as they are positioned well in the market, and as those become easier to achieve, they can become less valuable.
