IUP, Slippery Rock, Penn State(has campus nearby), Pitt, CMU, Duquesne, Chatham, Waynesburg, Robert Morris, La Roche, and even the junior college CCAC. All of them stated that SL, Study, etc would not count as the actual class must be delivered via a regionally accredited school. You may find a school that accepts it, but it will likely be one of the ones that accept SL for undergrad credit.
I'm actually looking at the masters program at one state school that I could potentially go to.... All that they require for the biology masters degree program is that you have 19 hours in biology & 12 in chemistry. They don't say anything about "online" classes being unacceptable. I actually plan to take most of my core biology classes through a local community college - for dirt cheap - and 100% online (Gen Bio I & II w/ labs, Gen Chem I & II w/ labs, A&P I & II w/ labs).
The community college even offers a Pathophysiology course, but I'm considering the straighterline course for that one, as it needs to transfer as UL credit. Now, I don't know what I'm going to do about Organic Chem I & II and Physics I & II. But, I suppose I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
QUICK QUESTION: Do you guys know if the UC Berkeley extension courses are counted as legitimate, accredited college classes (not ACE credits like straighterline courses)? I just realized that a lot of my course work will be done through UC Berkeley extension, so I'm crossing my fingers that my future grad school won't have a problem with those courses. Argh....
