Almeda University is one of those online colleges that gives you a degree depending on your work experience. No actual class work needed. Just curious?

On-line degrees are acceptable if they are from an accredited school. Being "state licensed" doesn't matter, it's accreditation that matters. If you receive a degree from a non-accredited school, it may be ok, but some people might view it as unacceptable. There are many accredited schools that will grant credit for life experience, but given that the purpose of many degrees is to show that you are well-rounded and have perseverance, it's doubtful that a legit institution would grant a degree solely on experience. So check to see if they are accredited by one of the regional bodies if this is important to you:

If it's a ligitimate degree, and you maintained a good GPA, there's no reason why it shouldn't be accepted.
