Esteemed professionals,
I would like to solicit any input and tips on getting online masters degree.
I've been looking at Henley Putnam, AMU, and Columbia Southern for International Affairs and Conflict Resolution, Terrorism and Counter Terrorism, Intelligence, or Homeland Security

Have any of you earned master degree through the universities above?
Does it serve you well with civilian/federal employment, career advancement, and such?
For those in recruitment position or supervising role, do online degrees tend to be dismissed?

After three degrees from traditional universities, I'm starting to doubt the ROI. Even with GI Bill, I want to pay just tuition, books, and education-related fees, not student activity fee, athletic fee, multicultural-festival fee :rolleyes:

Got two masters through APU (AMU is the sister university under APUS). Regionally accreditated, online classes easy to navigate. Alot of reading and writing. Class interaction is set up to occur, but doesn't happen much. Each one took me between 18 months and two years to get with work.
