[game_edu] Online-only degrees (was Re: Where to post academic job offers?)

[Ian Schreiber]

I've been thinking about this a lot over the last week, and there's one thing about this whole discussion that really confuses me.
   
  On the one hand, I'm hearing that online-only MFA's aren't taken seriously in academia.
   
  On the other hand, I'm also hearing that people with game industry experience are in a seller's market, and universities will gladly bring in any qualified person as long as they can keep their accreditation board mollified.
   
  These two views would seem to conflict with each other. How can they be reconciled? Will a person with a ton of industry experience and an online-only terminal degree have trouble getting hired, or not?
