Some employers are suspicious of online education, saying it lacks rigor, is poor quality, and may lack accreditation. The literature reports that as familiarity with online learning grows, so will acceptance (Adams & DeFleur, 2006; Gallagher, 2018; Guendoo, 2008). This study supports that view. From 2012 to 2021 (NCES, 2021), the percentage of students in post-secondary online degree programs grew from 25.5% to 59%, with a brief boost to 73.4% from 2020 to 2021, propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Students of traditional college age and non-traditional students 25 years and older choose to attend college online for various reasons, including family and job responsibilities and locations that make campus study impractical. Well-known, accredited colleges and universities that once offered only in-person instruction now offer online programs identical to classroom courses (Ellis, 2022; Goodman et al., 2019). The objectives of this quantitative study include understanding if employers prefer applicants who earned their degrees in-person or online and, secondly, if they do prefer applicants with traditional degrees, what sets these applicants apart from others. The third objective is to explore if an employer's industry makes a difference in the type of applicant they hire. The Project Management Institute Dallas Chapter participated.
