absolutely false.
the corporate community understands that its near impossible to quit working for two years to go get a masters. Phoenix and American Intercontinental U. are the two major (accredited) online universities. I took a few classes online in the business field before I switched majors to engineering and had to go to a physical school, and found it relatively easy. Its basically 5 weeks per class, and if you have a decent instructor (which I did) they get back to you within a reasonable amount of time. The way it worked out for me, I had to put about 1 -1.5 hrs in to the work per day and the weekly project was done with time to spare.
I thought I was the type that needed to have a teacher at my disposal (in class) to ask questions, but it actually worked out very well. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again for anything non-math/science based. Its tough to do labs online, but some schools offer masters programs in chem and engineering.
As for the respectability of the the school, like I said, MOST corporations understand that night classes may be your only option, just don't go to Bob's Corner Deli/online university and you'll be fine. Phoenix and AIU are the two I recommend. Prices and structure are roughly the same.
