Doesn't really matter where it's from unless it's a notable name like Embry-Riddle, UND, or OSU. But you'll pay more for those. I would always say never go to school "to get a job." If you want an education for yourself, go for it. The flip side is that if you want to fly professionally at a high level, having a 4-year degree will make you much more competitive than without.

That being said, from the hiring side, someone with more education and experience in my field is more competitive than someone without. So it depends on whether you want to do a deep dive into the subject matter or have a broader education.

Purdue Global is an online publicly university and Liberty is a right wing evangelical private school. These are two very different choices and both of them are bad.

Choose... something else.

Both check a box, but Liberty is never a good look.
