Are credits from online universities (U of Phoenix, AIU) likely to transfer to other larger universities?

I have to agree with University of Phoenix. I love it. Do a google search for ONLINE DEGREE and look for what you like. Go to ivillage.com and do career test, see what you like!

How about ASU?  You should be able to get into there.  You also might be able to get into USC - but it's very expensive.

AIU Online (American InterContinental University) has a really good accreditated 100% online BA program. I am a student there in the BA program and I graduate in a couple of months! I also work there as an admissions advisor. I have already learned so much and it's actually kind of fun with all the other students.

I have to disagree with some of the preceding comments.  I took courses online from UoP until I could no longer afford them, and then I transferred to a public university (from which I am graduating in 9 days).  The UoP curriculum for my area of study was much better than that of the public university.  Of course, that experience may be due to the major itself (Information Technology).  I can't swear to what other programs are like.  So, like everything else, your mileage may vary.

University of Phoenix is pretty good, but you have to realize the limitations of the medium.  I found it pretty frustrating in that they want you to work in teams, and people are in different time zones.  Also, the kind of people who attend an on-line university are busy people, and perhaps people who haven't traditionally had a lot of commitment to their education, so that makes their commitment to the team kind of questionable.

I believe you'll find that, even though you have so many credits, you can still enroll in a community college as an undergraduate student in order to finish a particular degree program. In order to facilitate the transfer of your credits to this new school, be sure to have any evidence you can gather of the course content you had in your accumulated credit hours. A bulletin of classes from your former college or syllabi will be helpful to this end. However, please contact the school you are interested in directly...they will be best able to explain their policies. Good luck!

Some colleges have classes that are totally online so you could look into other universities in your area.

The easy answer is: No.\n\nThe more developed answer is: they can be.  If you want to get your degree online, your best bet is to find out what traditional, accredited colleges in your area have online degree programs.  Find out whether your degree will be stamped, "online program," or not since employers are (rightly so) suspicious of anyone getting a degree online.  There are many diploma mills such as the University of Phoenix, which are not, in fact, quality educational institutions.\n\nIf you're looking to save money, going to school online usually costs MORE money than going to a traditional school, so I'd recommend comparing costs carefully.\n\nIn Wisconsin, we have programs via the University of Wisconsin system, and the University of Platteville, for example, has a complete online degree program that is offered in either online or correspondence course-based format (the latter does not require as strict of a timeline since you are not "in class" with students online).  It does not stamp your degree as being "online."  The University of Wisconsin also offers a two-year degree program online, but it is stamped as "online."  If you think you want to get your general studies courses out of the way and will do your last 2-3 years at a traditional university, this degree being stamped "online" may not matter much.\n\nCheck with your state or the surrounding states and see what options you might have.  Many of the traditional universities and even many private colleges (which have been accredited forever and are constantly undergoing review) will offer you an online program (or online courses to supplement a traditional program) and they will be a legitimate degree that is not a "diploma mill."\n\nCompare your costs.  Find out how much it costs to do the program in different kinds of schools.  Community colleges, if you have any where you live, are often a great way to get the "general studies" courses out of the way at a smaller, more supportive environment, and many tech schools now offer an associates degree program that transfers to a traditional college (with those general studies courses out of the way).  Tech colleges are often cheaper, too!  You might find an online program is cheaper, or you might be better off in traditional face-to-face classes (we're used to learning that way and many cannot learn effectively in an online format).\n\nFigure out first what you think you want to study, then do the work of comparing programs (luckily almost everything is online now).  Most schools will offer you financial aid as a full-time student, whether or not the school is online, but your safest bet is to make sure your online program is backed by a traditional university that has real buildings and real professors (not all part-time teachers).\n\nGood luck!

Yes! Many community and 4-year colleges and universities around the country offer online or other format of distance learning programs. While you can pick virtually any school, residency requirements still affect tuition. Check with your local community colleges or regional accrediting agency for more info.\n\nThere are schools that operate purely online, allowing them to cater to specific niches and needs, but they tend not to be accredited. \n\nIf you know which university you may want to graduate from later, you can check with their registration department regarding transferring credits, and ask where many students transfer from.\n\nGood luck!

I've take several classes from University of Phoenix, and they were very good. I did this as a graduate student though.  While you'll get the same info online, I really think it is important to go to college with people.  You network, make connections, and meet people that could help you out later.

These Degrees are accepted, but, as in any profession you will be competing with many individuals after the same position.  If one is a Graduate from a well known College, they may be looked at in a favorable light.  Also you should be aware, it can be difficult to impossible to transfer credits from the online course.  Be sure you read all the fine print.  Be sure that the course offers certification and not just the education.\n\nGood Luck, and Have a Great Day

For Online Universities University of Phoenix, http://uoponline.lnfo.org/&kid=GOG0007278343 has an online Masters program in Information Technology and also Norwich University, http://www.graduate.norwich.edu/ has a Masters program in Information Assurance (Security). These are the two Universities that I am currently considering.

Yes there are many but are they from accredited institutions? Need to be very careful about that since only those from such an institution will be nationally recognized. If it's accredited I'd go for it. Check this website for the list of online degrees that are nationally accepted\nhttp://www.classesusa.com/index.html;jsessionid=28DAF55801F2B047E9694454F35ABC2E

Perhaps thorugh some phony online scam. And most of those are just enticing you witht he words "degree in one year".\n\nHow many credits do you have now? The best you may hope for in a year is an AA if you work your tail off. BA-BS 2 to 4 years, the lesser if you have a lot of credits already. It at least needs to be a reputable online or campus oriented school. Phoenix online, last I heard, was close to $400 per credit though.

If they accept fin. aid, they are probably accredited. If they don't, they are not..With most online colleges, you can do it in less than 4 years.  Depends on the college..BE SURE THEY ARE accredited..They all have accreditation but I went to one and needed 3 classes for my bachelors only to find out I would have to move to OHIO to use it..Also know that if you might plan on attending an offline school, the classes you took may not transfer.

Most "online" schools don't have good reps, and U Phoenix, in general, doesn't have a great rep with employers. Like you, I've also heard that people attending online programs graduate with less frequency than people who attend campus-based schools. Consider your options carefully. \n\nThere are reputable, "brick and mortar" schools that offer degrees online. Their good reputation for their on-campus programs will flow over into their online program. \n\nSo to be quite blunt, an online OR an offline degree from U Phoenix, or Devry, or ITT, will only get you so far, because the reputations of these schools isn't the greatest. A degree of any sort from UMass Amherst, or U Nebraska Lincoln, or U Maryland, will likely be seen as more acceptable by more employers, and may, therefore, get you further. \n\nSome great universities that offer online degrees include:\n\nUniversity of Massachusetts at Amherst\nRensselaer Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Denver\nUniversity of Maryland\nDuke University\nDrexel\nCarnegie Mellon\nPenn State\nBall State\nU Nebraska - Lincoln\nBabson\nWorcester Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Illinois\n\nAnd there are others. But in general, when you're looking for a distance learning degree, try to find a program at a school that has a good reputation for their "brick and mortar" campus. \n\nGood luck.
