It should not be a problem. However, you need to find out if the on-line university is regionally or nationally accredited Make sure the university is regionally and it should be recognized by any university. AIU On-line and University of Phoenix--the two most popular on-line universities--are regionally accredited. If you have a university in mind, call them and ask if an associates degree from AIU or UoP would transfer over to their school. All schools are different on what they will and will not accept, so I strongly suggest you contact them prior to enrolling in ANY school.

Once again we come to the issue on accreditation. If the school is of a quality university (Florida Metropolitan University (btw it has been around for over 100yrs)) You can start and finish your degree on-line, with the flexibility and quality what would be the motivation to go to a ground campus. Now with a associate you can find a better job then with a high school diploma, continue to work and go to school on your schedule instead of a ground campus.

It would probably be a better idea to take on-line classes from an established community college, college or university. Transferring credits from an "on-line only" school can be problematic.

For a definitive answer, go to the University you hope to someday attend, and ask if they would accept transfer credit from XYZ on-line college.

The colleges and Universities that I am familiar with (many), do not indicate on their transcript whether the course/program taken was a ground course or on-line. Just remember if you are taking an on-line course/degree, you must be disciplined in your study habits. You cannot be a procrastinator. Many feel on-line courses are easier. Let me assure you, they are not. That being said, here is something you should be aware of when it comes to the transferability of credits. Never depend 100% on what your current institution says is transferable to a particular college or university. You must ask the receiving institution. In addition, if you are taking courses through a community college, find out from your transfer counselor what articulations your college has with other four year institutions. Some have what is called a "Dual Admissions Program or "Joint Admissions Program" where if the student completes the program requirements successfully, they are guaranteed "Full Faith in Credit" upon transfer to that institution.

I have to disagree with online courses being harder - I found them incredibly easy. Just as long as you're able to keep to a schedule. =) I agree with the rest of the great advice here - check with the receiving college. Honestly you'd technically be touching on an associates while going for your bachelors, so why not just start off at the university?

Look for resources such as the one currently available in the State of California. http://www.assist.org/web-assist/welcome.HTML . This helpful tools help you to check which courses might transfer from one college to a university.

How long does it take to earn a bachelors degree after earning an associates?

Well an associates degree is a two year degree while a bachelors is four. Not all major will transfer from an associates to a bachelors. For example you can get an associates in nursing and go on later to get your bachelors and it only be about two more years. But if you have an associates in nursing and you want a bachelors in business. You will pretty much have to start over and most likely only your prerequisites will count toward your new degree.

If you hold an associate's degree does it get averaged into your bachlors degree?

The four year institution will attempt to use as many credits form your associates degree toward your bachelors degree. However, the Grade Point Average (GPA) you achieved in your associates degree will not be averaged in with the GPA you achieve toward your bachelors. For instance, if your GPA at the associates level was 3.5, at the bachelors level you once again start with a GPA of 0.00. In other words your starting fresh.
