I'm damn near 21, I don't want to be a Freshman at a campus! I'm not old, but I don't want to not work!
im in the same boat, i love working on cars and im good at it, but i kinda want something to fall back on, besides ill be the only one in my family without at least a 4 year degree.
im thinking I want to do something along the lines of aerospace engineering, solid mechanics or chemistry, theres soo many things to choose from!!

Even if a college is accredited, that doesn't mean anything. You best bet would be to contact a 4 year college and pretend you have the degree already and what would transfer in. NAU will not transfer in well, it is like the Globe School of Business up here and many others, they aren't real colleges. If you look in the "about us" section that is the first hint, the guy is the president and CEO. Colleges don't have CEO's.
Your best bet would be a local community college or one of the true online universities. One of the biggest is Phoenix University. It looks like Metro doesn't have a full IT program, but they do have a few computer related fields. I am not sure if they are available solely online though.

Thanks for diggin' that up JET. I don't think I will attend NAU then. I really want a strictly online degree/classes. I think I'm too late for anything now, I was originally checking out that DeVry that AJ noted, and the Phoenix one from the get-go, but heard a commercial on the radio for NAU. :loser:
I'm going to dig into DeVry more. I just want something to fall back on when I'm sick of working from the bottom up.
I have heard you have issues transfering with Devry also. I was at a seminar where the Dean of the University of Phoenix was a speaker. They adopted online classes way earlier than anyone else and are setting the standard right now.

Metro state has Computer Science, MIS, and other IT degrees, just look around there. I went for MIS.

I've looked around on transfering my credits out of DeVry is I ended up going that route and there was only going to be an issues with a few select course due to the program info being out of date or some shit. Otherwise it's pretty standard from what I've looked into.
I can say having that online option is a fuck'n blessing. I'm sitting back right now having a Jack-n-7 drink and doing my class work. I'm probably going to be tipsy for my final next week. lol
Yeah, online is great. My whole major from Metro is online. Gotta love it!
