online programs will never be as good as in person. There is so much learned by being in the same physical location and meeting classmates. Going to physically talk to the professor during office hours. Physically reacting when something doesn't make sense. Also, you just focus so much more; especially with a masters program, you'll be learning so much that you really should be treating it full time...
I feel like PhDs and Masters have been sorta bastardized over the years, they aren't just a way to get promotions and raises, they are for you to MASTER the material. Which takes a lot of time and effort
In my own opinion...
