If my undergraduate and gradate degrees are from an accredited online institution, am I allowed to enroll in a Master’s program at a brick-and-mortar university? My school is not a scam, they are nationally and regionally accredited.
I earned my degrees online from US universities and I want to enroll in another graduate program in the US, not in Europe.

You will have to find a school that was “accredited” by the same “national” and “regional” association that offers a “masters” degree. Not all online / trade “universities” are “accredited” by the same association.

I would contact the university directly and ask them. All of the Universities have admissions tutors who are glad to answer any questions about applying to their University.
Firstly, find out which Uni you would like to apply to, then find their contact details on their website. Usually you can either call, or email. I have emailled many admissions tutors whilst going through the application process, and they all get back to you pretty quickly.
Good luck!

Are you refferring to europe. is the online institution recognised as a university?
check the credibility of your degree against the ” bologna process”.
I note you dont mention your degree nor institution, if its the OU then no problem

Hello, I dont think you should have much trouble in joining an on campus masters after an online bachelors. Your online degree should be of good quality. The syllabus you studies must be valid. As long as you have the knowledge, why should you have trouble? Ofcourse you should go ahead and confirm with the universities you want to join.

I don’t think you should have a problem enrolling in a masters program–contact your university of choice and talk with them—
GOODLUCK

Why don’t you just name the university? Is it something humiliating like U of Phoenix?
Normally, an online degree from a brick & mortar regionally accredited university is recognized for graduate study, but the graduate school is not obligated to accept any university. For example, while U of Phoenix is a regionally accredited university, many universities will not accept a U of Phoenix degree for graduate study because Phoenix’ reputation is so low and the “education” obtained there is assumed to be substandard.
