What questions do you need to ask before you transfer to a four year university or college?

Answer 1: First and foremost, the four-year bachelors program must be accredited by an agency approved by the US Department of Education (USDE), and/or the USDE-sanctioned Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
Next, you'll want your entire two-year associates degree to count as the entire first two (freshman and sophomore) years of the bachelors degree; so that you may enter said bachelors program as a full junior, and complete just two more years in order to earn your bachelors. If any part of the associates won't count toward the freshman and sophomore years of the bachelors, then you may have to take a few additional lower division (freshman and sophomore level) courses to satisfy whatever are the Bachelors Degrees requirements which the bachelors degree program says you're missing. You'll want to be crystal clear about all that before entering the bachelors program.
Beyond that, there's not too much to worry about, academically, because it's mostly the upper-division (junior and senior year) courses that matter in a bachelors program... that's where all the courses in the major (and minor, if one is declared), and the general electives, are taken; and almost nothing that you took in the associates degree manifestly affects any of that. What matters most about the associates is that it satisfies whatever are the bachelors program's requirements; and said requirements are usually related to what's called "lower division general education" (LDGE).
If your associates is sufficiently well-crafted, then the bachelors program's LDGE requirement will be either entirely, or nearlly entirely satisfied by the associates degree. As long as that's the case, then the only academic questions you should have for the bachelors program will be related to your major and/or minor... neither of which have anything to do with the associates, even if the associates is in the very same thing, or something compatible with, whatever will be your bachelors degree's major.
So, then, all that leaves, really, are questions about things like what life will be like on campus, in what kinds of extra-curricular activities you could become involved, what things cost, what are the rules, where and how will you live, etc., etc., etc.

Can you earn a bachelor's degree with a GED education?
If you have a GED, and have chosen to pursue a bachelor's degree the answer is, you can! If you do not meet the entrance requirements of a four year college or university you can start at your home county community college. After completing your associates degree, you can then transfer to the four year school of your choice. I would advise you complete the associates first, however, if you do not wish to that you can transfer earlier however the four year institutions typically want to see a good solid two semesters before they make an admissions decision.
