I still have not quite figured out why people spend so much time (and money) to "attend" the University of Phoenix Online - especially for a graduate program.

I have a graduate degree and work in government, but in a field that has a lot of interaction with the private sector. I have not yet seen a hiring manager who actually takes online degrees seriously - especially degrees from places well known to be almost exclusively online, like UofP.

That does not mean the education isn't of good quality - but on the whole, people do not take it seriously. I can't understand why people just don't go to a "normal" graduate program that offers night or weekend classes.
