I'm surprised you interpret it that way. How else are they supposed to market it? All they're doing is being clear about the delivery platform. If they didn't say it was "online" how would you know it was online? The degree you receive will be identical to the one you'd receive in person. This is all that matters. Your degree will be the same, the classes taken will be the same, etc. Besides, studies have shown that employers actually highly value candidates from reputable online programs--because they have apparently discovered that candidates who have persisted in online programs are highly motivated. "Online" isn't a stigma these days.
