Has anyone successfully completed an AA degree and then successfully transfered into a traditional school as Junior?

I think their ads even say that they may not transfer. I was shocked to hear that the state I teach in will not accept their master's in education degrees. The local state university won't accept transfer credit from there either. Scary stuff for 30K a year plus.

Swimbikeron is correct.
Remember though - no college is ever required to take transfer credit unless an agreement is in place to do so. This is not a right.
Much depends on the courses you've taken and whether they apply to the degree program you're entering.
Usually, people who have trouble transferring courses from the likes of UoP have run into a situation where the receiving school has "assumed" incorrectly that UoP is not regionally accredited. You are allowed to correct that assumption.
One person I heard of used this when faced with "isn't that that online college on TV?" he replied...
"no, that's the University of Phoenix Online, this is the University of Phoenix..." and they bought it. DOH!

It is regionally (the highest level for an institution) accredited. Their credits should transfer into other regionally colleges without any problem. You’ll have to contact the school you are transferring to so that you can determine whether they will meet specific program requirements or just count towards electives or gen eds.
Online is just the format. The accreditation is the same as onground schools.
You can read up independently on the CHEA or Department of Education website, as Yahoo Answers can be all over the board.

I have a bachelors degree in business from UOP and I am currently enrolled in their MBA program. I am doing my classes online as my work schedule makes it difficult to attend classes at the campus. I had taken classes at a state school and my local community college before attending UOP, and the quality of education at UOP is comparable, if not better. Earning my degree from UOP has allowed me to almost double my salary compared to what I was making without a degree. I have had nothing but positive experience with my UOP degree. I have never encountered any prejudice towards a UOP degree. I know several other UOP graduates and they have had similar experiences. However, I have heard some employers are biased against UOP. If you ask me this bias is due to ignorance and I would not want to work for a narrow mined employer. I do know that Boeing has a partnership with UOP and they encourage their employees to attend UOP. If you are considering going back to school UOP is an excellent choice, but I would recommend looking into several schools and decide which is best for you.

MOST state and private colleges and universities refuse to accept UofP credits. (Mine, for example.)
A very few will take SOME credits. I know of NO reputable college or university that will transfer in ALL credits and allow a student to transfer in as a junior.
Yes, UofP is accredited in many areas. However, accreditation is the lowest level of acceptability that can be achieved. In other words, accreditation is, while important, by no means a marker of quality.

Per co-workers the courses from UoP may not transfer to a traditional 4 year university, however you can continue to attend UoP and get a Bachelors from there. Your credits will will all transfer and you will be a junior.
