Distance Learning Programs

[Wafer]

Just out of curiosity, what do you think of earning a master's degree in philosophy through distance learning? Would you recommend it? Why or why not?  What would employers or universities that don't offer graduate degrees via distance learning think of this?

There is zero respect for institutions that aren't bricks and mortar. As for distance learning at a bricky place... I don't know. At least, not at the MA level. It might be ok, though I doubt it'll be as respected as a proper degree. If it were a PhD, that would be career suicide before your career even began.
