Masters Degree: Online or not?

[sheier]

Hello,

I am looking for feedback on Masters programs, specifically a MPH in Global Health/Social Policy. I am considering 2 Canadian universities, one offers the program online, while the other is on-campus.

The online program is being launched this year, so it is very new, while the on-campus program has been around for many years now, and is in the process of receiving accreditation by CEPH.

I am interested in the online program, as it doesn't require me to move to another city, but I've never taken online courses and am wary of entering a brand new program. Can anyone offer their thoughts on this?

Thank you!
