I'm working a full-time job and career with a family and would like to finish up my degree in computer science. What do most HR departments think of graduates from University of Phoenix (which is regionally accredited)? Are the degrees earned from University of Phoenix and other accredited non-traditional schools given less "respect" than standard universities?

I'm mainly interested in knowing what HR personnel and hiring managers think of applicants with degrees from regionally accredited for-profit schools that offer both on-line and campus classes. Are they a red-flag?

I believe that the litmus test for degree viability is the accreditation of the university. If the school is at the least regionally accredited by one of the recognized accrediting bodies then the product has credibility.

I have had no problems going to work for Fortune 500 employers with my my two degrees from regionally accredited for profit universities. I am not in HR but as a frequent hiring manager the combination of education and expereince gets my attention. The interview gets the job. Once I hire a candidate that person has to deliver.
