I’m thinking of getting an online Bachelor’s degree in elementary education. I was wondering if it would hurt my chances of getting a job in the future?

    As long as the college is regionally accredited any degree you earn should be recognized by potential employers and other academic insitutions. That having been said not all colleges have the same reputation (either online or campus), in fact even within the same university the education program might have a better reputation than say the business school or vice versa. But there is nothing unique to an online program that would make it look worse. In fact many colleges do not indicate whether a degree was earned online or on campus.

    This site has some good info on online bachelors degree programs in elementary education and the colleges that offer them:

    I would definitely recommend contacting a number of schools to find the best fit for you and your needs if you choose to go the online route. Good luck!
