What is the primary reason one would not choose an online DFMT degree (e.g. northcentral) over a regular MFT (master’s level) on campus, from a local state university?

The reasons I can think of:
The reasons I can think of:
- State (in my case Texas) wouldn’t recognize the degree for licensure purposes (although on the ncu site they explicitly state that they would)
- I wouldn’t pass the licensure exam due to less rigorous education (I can probably compensate for this myself)
- Employers would ignore applicants with online degrees (if true, nothing I can really do about this)
- Anything else?
