There are some colleges/universities that do not look at the credits that you'd received from your associate's program, and simply ask if you have an associate's degree when you transfer to these colleges/universities to be admitted into their bachelor's program. Other colleges/universities however are willing or require to take a look at what credits from your associate's are transferrable to the Bachelor's.
AIU (American Intercontinental University), for example, did not want to take a look at my associate's program transcript and immediately made me start taking their standard courses after admission whereas FMU (Florida Metropolitan University) did ask for my Associate's transcript to see what credits could be transferred and did. However, AIU ended up being 10 grand less than FMU (after FMU received all transferrable credits).

Keep in mind for these "schools" that the classes you take will not transfer to a 4-year university (UCF, UF, etc). If I were you, I would take my Associates and go to a real college. Tons of financial aid out there and it is considered "good" credit

If they aren't "looking at them" then they probably aren't counting them and you may have to take all those courses over again to get the credits.
You better choose a college that accepts your associates credits.
