Yep. I got a finance degree. Much of that could have been done online. I found value in presentations and all that but the entire degree boils down to understanding how to do like 3 formulas.

I have a law degree, we did about 40% online (overall year) and bar passage rates...a test if minimum competence to practice...fell pretty hard as a result I think.

Certain degrees need to be in person without question.
