Depends on the degree/school -- if it's an established brick and mortar 
university that added an online option, then perhaps I'll continue 
interviewing the candidate.  If it's one of those $19.95 plus 
get-a-free-set-of-ginsu-knives degrees, then obviously not.  Once I hear the 
word "online" on a candidate's resume, I'd definitely up the interview 
process to ensure the candidate knows what they are expected to.  But then 
again, I usually don't care if someone got their knowledge from the backs of 
bubble gum wrappers if they can do the work.

Beware of accreditations -- there is more than one accreditation system, and 
established universities will not take candidates from schools with other 
accreditations, such as the home accreditation council (or something like 
that) for example.  Tech institutes such as NTS or NIT, etc are usually 
accredited by those "other" systems.

Cheers,
