Online Graduate Degree FAQ

Will my primary school accept credits that I earned by taking an online course?

Answer: This decision is largely based on the school’s accreditation.  Generally, regionally accredited schools will accept credits transferred from other regionally accredited schools.Often, the traditional schools that offer online courses are both DETC and Regionally accredited.  Otherwise, it is best to call the accepting school to verify that they will accept the credits.

You can check to see whether or not your school is accredited via the college search database. Enter the school name and view their accreditation data.
