Put yourself in the position of the employer. You have two candidates: A) attended an online school or B) attended a brick and mortar institution. Unfortunately, one seems better than the other – whether this is true or not means little, since ultimately, it’s the employers opinion that matters.
Yes, an online degree is a degree, but underwater basket weaving is a degree too.

I don’t agree with Michael completely but he’s right. Employers are of the baby boomer and X-generation. Mostly X. We will look more favorably on a campus-earned degree vs. a laptop MBA.

It really depends on the school and the type of course you take.
I live in Canada and I recently went to a job fair at my local school board (for a teaching position). They were very clear that they only recognize certain colleges and universities. Anyone who got their degree online was told that they were not qualified and would not be hired! The problem in this case was that these online graduates did not have the practical (placement) experience. The school board had a list of colleges/universities that they accept from, and they were sticking to it – making no exceptions.
Be careful, do some research before you waste your time and money!

As long as the college (online or campus based) is regionally accredited, any degree you earn should be accepted by any potential employers or other academic institutions.
My best recommendation would be to contact a number of colleges to find the best fit for you and your needs (tuition, schedule, career opportunities, etc.). Too often people enroll in the first school they find rather than taking the time to find the best school for them. Taking that time now could save you a lot of time, money and frustration if you choose the wrong school.
This site has some good info on regionally accredited online degrees and some colleges that offer them to help expand your search:

Employers doesn’t think that much about what type of degree you posses. The important thing that matters is the skill level you posses. If you can be an assets to a company then they will certainly hire you. Otherwise they will not regardless of whichever degree you posses. You should make sure that the college you choose should be an accredited one.
