I was wondering if degrees online such as from the University of Phoenix are legitamate, useful degrees? I’m a recreation and tourism major in my second year of college. I would like to work for the park service once I graduate and currently work for them during the summer. So I’ll have my four year recreation and tourism degree from a four year university. But I might like to do law enforcement within the park service. I was thinking taking some classes online or else from a nearby tech college since my college doesn’t have a criminal justice program. I could take classes at the tech college during the summer. My question is would an employer look at a degree from one of these online colleges such as the University of Phoenix and consider it to be a authentic and also giving me the qualifications I need? I realize alot of these so called online degrees could be fake, so I’d ask my college’s academic advising center before I enrolled in an online college.
