Can an online master’s degree be used to qualify for the H1B master’s exemption? What about a master’s degree from a part-time or evening program?

Answer

The advanced degree exemption requires a degree from an accredited, nonprofit U.S. college or university. It does not matter if the program was part-time, evening, and/or online. Just check the nonprofit / for-profit status of the school and the accreditation. There are links on MurthyDotCom to the U.S. Department of Education accreditation information for colleges / universities. (13.Apr.2015)
