"On your own" is not an accredited institute of higher learning that you can put on your resume. Note: GREAT employers won't care whether you learned material on your own, or in an accredited degree program. Merely Good employers can be forgiven for thinking there's a difference. HR personnel who often get to screen resumes simply cannot be expected to understand that someone with a Masters is not inherently any more qualified than someone without a Masters. So, the question becomes, does an Online Masters add $6,000 or more to your lifetime earning potential?
