What is the difference between an online degree and one from a brick and mortar university?
If two people applied for the same job and held the same degree but one was from a online university and one was from a true "brick and mortar" university, would it make a difference to potential employers?

Is the school accredited? will it’s courses be accepted at other universities? If not, don’t waste money and time on a worthless degree.
Say you get such a degree, then decide to go on and get additional schooling, only to find out nothing you took will be accepted at a university.
Many real, brick and mortar universities offer a few online degree programs. Those are the real thing and would be the better option, assuming the brick university is accredited.
As for employers, say they want a nurse and your degree is entirely on line… where is the clinical experience and if the school is not accredited by the state, the training won’t get you the job.
There are a number of fake universities offering these type programs. Check and double check their credentials.
