Mostly no. Not really. At most, some of them will accept a few CLEP exams. That's usually it. It's why we recommend the universities that we do: they are exceptional and accept 3rd party credits.

Heck, some universities don't even accept credits from other universities.

So besides credit transfer which seems barely possible if any when it comes to on campus programs, what's the best way to get a program done the fastest way and relatively cheap? Or you can refer me to other forums that can answer these type of questions

Penn State is the #60 ranked university by U.S. News, and they accept up to 84 credits from Sophia, Study.com, etc., for their online program.

It will cost you $16,000-$25,000 to get a degree from there (with discounts for taking more credits per term).

It's pretty common for people to get caught up in chasing the branding and prestige of the college and lose focus on their own personal goals, not understanding the limits of what college can teach. Don't think that attending a high-ranked school will automatically mean employers are going to roll out the red carpet for you.

Attending a higher-ranking college isn't going to help your career much compared to all the other colleges we recommend. It's almost always better to save your money on undergraduate education and then spend it on graduate school.

Many people who attend colleges such as TESU, SNHU, and UMPI have gone on to attend high-ranking graduate schools such as Johns Hopkins University, Northwestern University, Cornell University, the University of Texas at Austin, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Study.com costs more than Sophia and has a limit of 5 courses per month. On my TESU transcript, you can't tell if I took them at StraighterLine, Study.com, or Sophia because they are all listed as ACE credits without details of which provider they came from.
