Will my online Master's look bad on PhD application?

[banana.mathlover]

I am currently doing an online master's at John's Hopkins in applied mathematics. 

I am hoping to apply to applied math PhD this Fall 2020. I am still getting my master's thesis by researching with a program adviser.

Just wanted to get some opinions on whether or not me having an online master's might make my application not as competitive since it's being done online.

Also, there's an option to do in-person for this master's. Should I do in-person or hybrid(in-person and online) or continue doing everything online?

Unless the degree or transcript designates it as an online degree (and I doubt it does) then I don't think it makes any difference whatsoever. But you should probably also ask your advisor, as they will know best and, hopefully, will also be a letter writer for you. You can tell them your concerns, get their reaction, and go from there.

It doesn't say online on the degree or transcript. Thank you for your feedback!

Does it say, "part-time" tho?

It doens't. For transcripts and diploma, it doesn't mention anything about it being online or part-time.

It is definitely not bad, beside I don't believe there is a distinction between online masters and in-campus masters degree. Although being in campus gives you the ability to possibly create relationship with professor on a personal level. But, for PhD, research experience, fit and graduate courses all contribute towards getting you accepted.

I agree. I just heard somewhere that online degree education is watered down so wanted to know what everyone thought when it comes to the admission process.
