<p>One of my closest friends got her master’s by mail while her husband was in the Armed Forces, from some now defunct school, but it was valid and accredited at that time. Everyone told her it was a waste of time. She has a dream job at a major university now, and that job required a master’s which she was able to whip out and show them she had. No one cares where it was from or what it was in,</p>
