Can your Sophia credits be rejected when applying for a Master?

First, Sophia is not a degree mill, because they don't grant degrees - they are an alternative credit provider.

The thing you really need to ask your top schools about is "will you accept a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited US school that has a lot of ungraded credit?" Because I think if you try to discuss Saylor/Sophia/SDC or whatever with them, they will be totally confused. They just won't understand what you're talking about. You just need to tell them that you're using non-traditional credit like CLEP exams, and will that be a problem if you have 30 graded credits from the school, mostly in your major.

I would not mention any of the course providers you want to use at all, as I think that will be beyond confusing. Also, the people you will talk to probably aren't the people who make the decisions on acceptance, so be prepared for them to know less than you'd like.
