    For several reasons.

    1) Online schools are relatively new. They haven’t had time to build a good reputation. Plus, the internet in general has a poor reputation.
    2) There are virtually no criteria to get into the school. You have to have a GED/high school diploma and your check has to clear. That’s it. More traditional universities require good grades, test scores, extracurricular activities, etc.
    3) There’s something to be said about interacting with your professor and fellow students in person, as well as taking exams in class without the benefit of notes or books. These are all valuable experiences to prepare you for the real world.
