Some people see that as a sign you are a quitter and discount you before you are even selected to interview. Hiring managers are fickle people when they wade through a pile of resumes. Everyone is different about this and it really depends on things like the pool of talent applying for the job, the number of applicants overall, and how desperate the manager is needing to fill the position.
It is one thing to drop out because you are paying in cash and ran out of funds or you had a medical/family issue that forced you to stop. You might have decided that it wasn’t what you wanted. It could be anything really. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to explain that in the screening process without drawing attention to it.
If I interviewed you, I might ask why you didn’t finish and if you plan on going back. That is as far as I would take it. I personally applaud anyone who is trying to better themselves. Graduate school is a good way to do it.
Suppose the job you are applying for it lists a MBA as a qualification, you would unfortunately end up in the trash simply because I have a pool of candidates who meet the minimum standard.
As far as it is being online or not: I prefer online graduates. Online schools require more discipline and a stronger work ethic. It is too easy to fall behind on your studies. B&M schools make it really easy for people to just show up or get the hand holding.
