i’m getting my AA from a JC and wondering if I could transfer to a university that offers online bachelor degrees/
i want to attend a well known school. Nothing against phoenix online or any of the other colleges but I want to attend a university that is not known as an online university
Check if your college entered into articulation agreements with any 4-year colleges and universities. I’d say so. This info may even be located on the JC website.
Franklin University - a regionally accredited university in Ohio offering online bachelor’s programs - has signed articulation agreements with over 250 community and junior colleges around the country.
Park University (MO) is another brick and mortar school with both multiple articulation agreements and online bachelor’s programs. Also look at Columbia College (MO) for online BS/BA degrees.
Two other schools, Peru State College and Fort Hays State University, have very low tuition rates as well as numerous online programs.
If looking for a “name brand”, I suggest University of Massachusetts via UMassOnline. Northeastern University lists a number of online degree programs. University of Alabama represents another option as does Indiana University.
In my opinion, your strategy is good. For-profit schools carry a certain stigma in the eyes of some employers. If possible, take a look at online degree programs in your own state too. You may be surprised. The number of online options at traditional colleges and universities increases every week, it seems.
I agree with elearning. Try to go to a traditional university. As someone who hires a lot of college graduates, I don’t consider a University of Phoenix as good as a traditional four-year degree.
University of Indiana has online degrees too.

I think that if you would like to…
that the easiest thing you could do would be to transfer to a public university that has a transfer articulation agreement with the JC you earned your AA at. The odds are high that there will be an online BA program over at (the very least) one of the public universities of the state in which you earned your AA degree.
If you would not like to earn your BA at a public university, or if you are thinking of moving out of state or what have you…
then please make sure that the universities (like some of the ones e learning pundit pointed out) you look at have nice admissions criterion for one who has already earned their AA. That would mean making sure that there is a transfer office of sorts and that the majority, if not all, of your coursework will transfer.
