Will a fully accredited online Masters degree be enough to find a community college teaching position?
Bruce Tzu asked:
I’m thinking of going to Golden Gate University online program and when I’m done I will have two Masters Degrees one in finance and one in industrial psychology. The online degree is accredit by the WASC. I also have an undergraduate degree from a highly regarded institution. My work experience is relevant and somewhat impressive. I’m wondering if potential community colleges will discount my online degree? What will my prospects be like?
WASC = Western Association of Schools and colleges.

Hmm I do not have very much experience in this, But as long as it is a fully accredited degree, I dont think they have a choice but to look at it as a normal masters, and with two masters you should have no problem landing a job as a professor at a community college.
