It's not so much the GPA I'm worried about, but rather the questions that come along with the degree. "Did you attend the TESU campus?" which then leads to "So you did the distance program?" which is where things could possibly go downhill.
I don't see how this is a concern. Many reputable colleges have wonderful online classes that are sometimes better than dealing the hassle and distraction of driving back and forth, changing study locations, and having some student hold up class by asking a million question because they aren't studying. Self-study and distance learning is for driven and mature people who keep a schedule and stick to it. If anything, I actually think it looks better (and, by the way, no one is looking).
