Do universities care if you take online courses instead of in-person courses?
Question:
Do universities care if you take online courses instead of in-person courses?
Perfect School Search
Answer:
Students who are looking to transfer credits between institutions or apply for graduate programs with undergraduate transcripts should review admissions and transfer policies carefully. Even if credits are earned at an accredited online institution, the new institution may have limits on the types of online courses they will accept for credit or for course equivalency.
For example, The University of Connecticut does not give course credit for online laboratory sciences and foreign languages, including those offered in a hybrid format, and requires prior approval for online math courses before granting credit. Also, students who wish to enroll at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's executive master's of business administration program who have not taken a statistics and calculus course with at least a B grade are encouraged to take an in-person course at a community college or university before submitting transcripts.
