Poll: Online Grad Schools

[THAC0]

I am looking for a grad school right now, and a friend of mine keeps suggesting that i look at online schools as well as more traditional universities.

I have never really thought to much about it, but it just seems like online schools would be more likely to be well...scams.

what are your thoughts on the subject?

I'm hardly knowledgeable on the subject, but I'm going to go with the "scam" option for lack of a "should not be taken over an offline one."

I see huge potential for them and definitely think it could work and be a positive influence to the world, but for now I don't think there's any worth mentioning.

I wouldn't buy into it. For one, there's no way you'll get as good of an education from online courses (one of the better things about grad school is smaller classes and more face to face time with the professors). Second, I doubt many employers would trust a graduate degree from online.
