If I'll do a year in online accredited scholl will I've any problems with transferring to a regular college

Answer 1

No, you should not have problems transferring as long as the school is accredited. If the university is accredited, it is just as good as a brick-and-morter school. Making sure the school is accredited is the most important thing. Try http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.asp

I graduated from an online school and am happy with my degree - and it is recognized just like any other degree. I attended Rio Salado Community College Online and AIU Online. My online degree was completely tranferrable and was sufficient to get me into law school. I am currently in my third year of law school.

Good luck!!

Answer 2

Understand that transferring is different at every college and each college is free to accept or not accept any credit they want from any school they want. Just because college A is accredited doesn't mean that college B will accept your credit from them.

Be aware too that there are different types of accredited and some (like ACICS and DETC) don't transfer well at all. Regional accreditation is what you want if you're going to need to transfer. Regional accreditors have names like Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Your state U is regionally accredited.

That said, if you take classes at a regionally accredited college/university and the classes fit within the degree requirements of the program that you want to transfer to, you should have minimal problems in transferring.

Take your classes at a college that has a solid reputation and the transfer gets even easier. Look at schools like UMass, Louisiana State U, Brigham Young U, UFlorida, Florida State... even Harvard and UC-Berkeley all teach online. The least expensive option is probably the state U in your state. The most expensive option (and hardest to transfer) will be one of the online-only programs you see on TV.

Take basic general education courses like freshman English, American and world history, intro to psych/soc, maths, etc... and you will find that they transfer easier too. Advanced major classes tend to not transfer well.

Answer 3

Probably. you will need to check first at the school you want to transfer to and ask if they will accept the credits. Accreditation has nothing to do with transfers.

My University, UCSC, would not accept most of the individual classes from my junior college, but the AA transferred just fine. Please note that if you are trying to save money, online is not the way to go. They are horribly expensive.

An easier and safer way to go would be to get an AA in Liberal Arts at a community college and transfer in as a junior.
