Can I transfer into a major college if im attending online school?

After my assoc degree is done, and assuming i pass which i will. Can I transfer to a major college say UGA or a major four year university. Would they look at my college grades and still look at my high school grades? Im making above a 3.0 in college, but in highschool i didnt do so hot, could i still get in?

Just for point of clarification: University of Phoenix is accredited by the same body that accredits the University of Arizona - the North Central Association is a regional accreditor. They aren't the best reputed college in the US but they are indeed regionally accredited and recognized by the CHEA and US Dept of Education. They also hold ACBSP, CCNE, and CACREP for some programs. That's not as good as AACSB, but it's better than nothing - which many state schools have for their programs.

UGa and "major four year universities" are regionally accredited, if the school you attended is also regionally accredited then your credit should transfer if transferring credit is something the school you want to attend does (some don't) and if the credit fits in your degree plan.

Remember that accepting transfer credit is not a right - different schools have different rules. For example, many schools will not take more than 60 hours from a community college. Some will only take credit earned within a certain period. Others won't take anything in your major. Some don't accept transfer at all and some will accept just about anything regionally accredited (Thomas Edison State College for example).

The only way to get a factual answer is to apply where you want to go and see what they say. Check the accreditation of your school and make sure it's regional - if not then you will need to explore other options.

There are campuses all around Michigan and only Michigan, which is where I live, so it's a brick and mortar school as well. I'd like to get my bachelor's degree in psychology from an online school before going to graduate school.

If you want to earn a regionally accredited degree at a reasonable price, in a reasonable amount of time, then Baker College might be the right choice for you. Baker College has been around since 1911 and they have an extremely high post-graduation employment rate (like 98%)

That said, some traditional schools with online programs may have a higher level of prestige. For example, earning a degree from schools like UMass, Boston University, Penn State, Cornell, Columbia University, Tulane, etc. might look a little better on your resume.

The majority of brick-and-mortar universities offering online degrees make no distinction whatsoever on your transcript that you earned your degree online. That said, if you are worried about perception, it might look fishy if you live/work in Michigan while attending school in Boston. I attended Columbia College Online (Missouri) while living/working in Texas and had no problems getting into grad school.

Here are a few other colleges with online bachelor programs in Psychology:

- University of Massachusetts
- Penn State University
- LeTourneau University
- Columbia College
- University of Wyoming
- Ashford University
- City University of Seattle
- Southern New Hampshire University
- Utah State University

Hope that helps!!

Are online schools as good and a regular college? Are online schools as good and a regular college?

Sometimes, sometimes not.

There are some really good online programs out there (see Harvard, UC Berkeley, Berklee Music, Oxford, UMass, etc.. who all teach online)

There are some really bad online programs out there (see any list of diploma mills)

However, there are some really bad not-online programs out there (see any rankings list) and some really good not-online programs out there.

Whether a program is "good" depends entirely on the college and not on whether it's online or classroom.

There are over 4000 colleges in the US and one is ranked #1, another is ranked #4000 -- the #1 (US News) just happens to teach online. http://www.extension.harvard.edu/2008-09/DistanceEd/

Whats a good online college school . .for single mothers . that also is cheap AND ACCREDITED?

Studying what ever i don't mind just name me a FEW good once
as a freshman

Assuming you want a bachelor's degree, there really are not any. University of Phoenix, Strayer, etc. are for profit institutions that are just trying to make a buck off of you if anything. Most large universities (hopefully one is nearby your house) will offer a combination of evening classes and online classes so you will be able to earn your degree that way assuming you work full time. A cheap school will mean that you will have to attend a state run university, NOT a private college.

I'm a junior in High School and I don't know if I can take online college classes to get some credits out of the way. If I can take them if I'm under 18 do I need my parents to sign anything? Do they only offer certain classes? Anyway if you know anything it would be appreciated! Thank you!

Ask your school which ones they would accept. Colleges require you have a high school diploma or GED to enroll, unless you're doing a program through your high school (dual-enrollment).

My sister is currently a Junior in High School and our Father wants to get her enrolled in online college courses. We haven't been able to find a site nor much information on it.

Thats a good plan.. to get High school & college credit while in high school..

I am in the same situation.. I am in high school, and I go to a local community college, and I take some of their online classes.. Some classes I took online were POLS 131 (Political Science) , PSY 131 (Psychology), and WR 131 (World Religions).. These are some of the major online courses offered at my local community college.

There are so many local community colleges in the united states. I currently attend Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn Mi.. I will leave you a link... It will show you classes that are offered 50% on campus & 50% online, or classes that are 100% online.. your Choice :)
just pick which ever one you want to see!

there are also classes that are offered on campus (but in this case-you wanted to see the online ones).. I hope I was much of assistance..
Good luck.

Is online college just as good as in school college and is it less expensive? Is online college just as good as in school college and is it less expensive?

Yes and No
Online college is better in a way because you have less distractions online than in college and you can take it at your own pace but the only thing you miss is the fun on campus even though it is distracting.

But I would choose online school or go to college in the day and come home. because I would rather get my degree and have fun later and it is way cheaper than going on campus.

Do high school students use online college search engines to search for college? If so, were they helpful?

I'm curious to know how high school students search for colleges. Online? Counselor's office?

What do college want to know when looking at college student online?

I used the online search engine. That helped let me know what was out there, but wasn't fully accurate on all they had to offer, so I used the school's website.

After that I asked my family, my older sister, and friends.

I used my counselor finally, and she helped a lot. She knew a lot about admissions, which is what I really needed once I found the college that was right for me.

Hope this helps!
