Will graduate schools in the United States and abroad accept an online college degree

I would say that if you want to get into a top-tier school, a degree from TESU/EU/WGU will not necessarily HELP you, but they may HURT you - mostly because you're going to be doing a degree via alt-credit, which does not give grades.  If I wanted to go to a school like that, I'd probably choose a school where I had at least 30 if not 60 graded credits, with most being A's.

There are schools we discuss on here, which will take a lot of alt-credit, but which also offer many more graded credits, which are much more helpful to applying to top schools.

No, you cannot take courses on campus at TESU, EU, or WGU (except if you're a nursing student at EU or TESU, in which case you would be spending a lot of money and taking all of your nursing courses on campus or in a clinical setting).

Thanks for your specific Infos. You wouldn't believe, But I actually joined this forum to read your post and, if possible, to get consultancy from you. One of my friends recommended getting connected with you. So, I am very thankful for your reply. 

After reading all the comments, I am convinced that an online degree is not entirely a STOP but a barrier. As I am doing this for myself and don't need to find jobs, My plan is to get the bachelor's as soon as possible and go to an on-campus graduate school. I will aim for a good GPA and try again for another master's in TOP tier university like Harvard. 

I believe I should be able to manage financial aid for this. If not, I might afford the fees too. Do you think this should work and fulfill my dream of being an IVY league Graduate?

Feel free to PM me. Make sure your PM can receive responses (not sure how to do that myself, sorry).

It's not the "online" degree that is the issue as much as it's the way you plan to get credits.  If you're going to use alt-credit for much if not 90% of your degree, you won't have many graded credits.  So forget the "online" thing because that's not really the problem here.

I have no idea how to fulfill your dream to be any Ivy League Graduate, since that's not my dream and I've spent zero minutes thinking about that.  Sorry, I'm just not the best person to ask about this particular thing.
