OT: Who knows anything about online Master's Degrees?

[Grateful11]

I was just looking into online Master's degrees for my son Jacob. He graduated from Pfeiffer University
this past spring with a double major in Pre-Med and Biology and a minor in Chemistry with honors
in 4 years. 3.6 GPA. I'm bragging on him a little, sorry. I noticed Harvard and many other colleges seem
to be offering more and more online classes. He did manage to get through 4 years at private college
and wound up with only $12K in student loans because of scholarships and grants.

Do these online degrees carry any clout?

Some of y'all might remember this thread:
Well he did it! A 4 year Full Tuition Scholarship!

I'm trying to get him and that awesome brain of his back into learning mode. He's been through a lot this
summer, losing his brother, they were like twins, like glue, they seem to hold each other together. Jobs
in his field without at least a Masters are probably going to be tough to find. His plan since High School
was to be a Family Physician but after shadowing a Dr. for while right out of college this spring he decided
it wasn't for him, he needs to be in a learning or research environment, he says he could see himself
being a professor someday.
