I actually was asked about my degree in a panel interview for a mid-level management position with a national company.

They questioned when I graduated and compared that to my previous employment and wanted to know how I completed my education in New Jersey while working in California. I explained how I had been enrolled in may schools over the past 20 years and I was never able to complete my education at one place because I moved around for work. That "TESC provided me the best opportunity to complete my degree and was an accredited state college".

As soon as I said that one of the managers said "so it was an online degree". That killed the interview right there. They really weren't interested after that.

The bias against online education isn't going anywhere soon.
