HRGuru

I have 10 years experience in HR skills and have decided to complete my BS simply because I cannot seem to transition jobs without  one.

• Do you think it matters which school I obtain my degree from...do employers scrutinize that?


• Does the school attended make a difference in the HR field like it does in the field of law or medicine? 


• Is the selected school more important at the MBA level than the BS level, or neither?

I can only attend school on line, so my choices are somewhat limited, but differences in cost range from $185 per credit hour to $385 per credit hour....and that's a lot of money to take out in a loan if there truly is no/little difference in the end! We're talking a $10k+ difference in tuition plus interest costs!

I will achieve my PHR cert (SPHR eventually!), so I assume that will help employers chose to hire me, but will the college I obtained my degree from make a difference?

Thanks for your advice!
