Online master degree in stats

[MartinJung]

I'm interested in pursuing a master's degree in Statistics at Texas A&M University, NCSU, or Penn State University. They offer both online program and and offline program and I'm more interested in the online program for some reason. My questions is this; Are online masters programs relatively easier to get into?

Probably.

But if you can attend an in-person program, I would suggest it. I have yet to talk to a person who did an online Masters who found it a fully satisfying experience.

I earned my Master's degree (and an graduate certificate) online through my local university. I work about a mile away, so I could go on campus when I wanted to see my advisor, but otherwise everything was online. My program was just as rigorous as an in-class course of study, including my thesis (my advisors were very demanding). I have a full-time job and family, so it worked great for me. My doctorate program will be mostly in-class, but some will be online as well. It really depends on the student and the program.
