Only one said that they rarely award credit for University of Phoenix courses, but UoP is not an online university. One school did say that they will not accept online courses in psychology and science no matter where they come from.
When I say online I am talking about Rasmussen, UofP, Kaplan, etc. As far as transferring credits, leaving an online university to transfer is fairly easy but transferring credits to an online university can be a challenge.

What is your definition for online university? Kaplan and UoP have campuses. When UoP first opened, online degrees didn't even exist.

Here is another possibility - Arizona State.

It's realty silly to even think of going to a for profit or an unaccredited college.
(I know they are not the same.)

So many people do not think well of these businesses. Why bother at all? Why put yourself at any disadvantage? Even if it's only a perceptual disadvantage and all of those who think this are dead wrong?

Enough people think it. So it's true. Does anyone really love Kaplan or U of P that much to want to make them rich while you spend your life with credentials that have made other people rich that make you look silly?

Do yourself a favor and choose a not for profit accredited college with a b and m campus.

Make these business owners get a real job!
