I was really glad that this program existed, as it allowed me to pursue my MPH at a "real", accredited, well-known and local-to-me school for a reasonable price while working full-time. It took 2 years. While I don't regret doing it, I wasn't very happy with the overall quality of the instruction. Several professors could have just as well been robots for all the actual teaching and feedback they offered. Several classes were way too easy - several required no papers, and one required just a group PowerPoint presentation for the final!
The stats course ended before we even got to regressions because the students weren't getting it, so the teacher had to go really slowly. Learning stats online was pretty difficult.
The worst part was the Capstone class (master's thesis), for which my advisor did exactly nothing - no feedback whatsoever.
Also, I didn't end up with any lasting connections or build my network much at all, either - but that is really a problem with online classes in general.

I'm a current student in the online MPH in Nutrition program and it's a wonderful way to earn the degree with the flexibility I need.
