Take the postgraduate entrance examination
At present, the national policy of recognizing online education qualifications has not changed, but if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you must have a degree certificate. This degree certificate was obtained after obtaining the undergraduate degree and then taking part in the defense of the bachelor's thesis. So you just need to find out one thing, that is, whether online education can issue you a degree certificate. With a degree certificate and a bachelor's certificate, there is no obstacle for you to apply for a master's degree.
civil service examination
The undergraduate degree obtained by online education is recognized by the state, and some civil servant recruitment positions also allow adults to take the exam, but at this time, candidates may be required to have both academic qualifications and degrees.
Personal salary
Now some companies have different degrees for employees, and the salary of the same position is graded. Employees with high academic qualifications have higher salaries than other employees. Moreover, the promotion space of highly educated employees will be much larger than that of low-educated employees.
