My undergrad was half community college, and subsequently finished through ERAU online. More importantly than how I obtained it, I did it while serving active duty, and managed a 4.0 for the first 2 years and finished with a 3.7. I made sure to point this out during the face to face. My MBA was also online, but from a highly ranked program, and again, very high GPA, 3.9, while serving active duty. I think your ability to show drive, focus, and time management during an online degree far outweighs the full-time brick and mortar graduate who finished with a 2.7. Of course HR saw my GPAs on my app to get my foot in the door, but then I made sure I sealed the deal during the interview.
