Patricia De’Shazior Hill, who is pursuing a doctorate in leadership from Capella University, says the online experience has helped her take control of her education. While working towards her master’s, she says she received a lower grade in a group project because she was Black. But by working online, she’s avoided a similar experience.
“I am relaxed, and I’m creating the optimal emotional climate for my learning,” Hill says.
According to Chandler-Lee, employers are less concerned about whether a degree was earned online and more about the reputation of the school.
“When I went into the marketplace and into the job force, [I found that employers] were concerned about what you know, what experiences you have,” she says. “What is more important for employers is that the school that you come from has an excellent reputation.”
