Or are they looked down upon? For example, if I get an online degree in computer science, will my degree be accepted by employers or will they reject me for not having a real degree?
No, as long as it is an accredited college–it is a real degree.
Most people who go to online colleges do so because they have a full-time job.
If anything it demonstrates the ability to multi-task a job and education.
Online degree programs have grown both in the number of colleges offering them and in acceptance by potential employers considerably over the past 5-10 years. In fact most colleges offer programs of some sort online because of the advantages they offer. Many of these programs do not differentiate whether the degree was earned on campus or online. The important thing to ensure is that any college you are considering is accredited and that you do not simply choose the first school you look at. Just as you would look at multiple schools when considering going to a campus you should do the same online. In fact, given that geography is not an issue online, I would look at as many schools as possible to find the one that is the best fit for you. Fits your schedule, tuition requirements and has a good reputation. I did a search for fully accredited online colleges and found this site which seems to have good information and some schools for you to check out. Best of luck!
