I was awarded credit for English Composition I & II Course through the College Level Examination Program. However, my undergraduate university did not accept CLEP for English Composition II so I had to take it online . I also took my statistics course at the university online. I am not sure if medical school will accept it. I am starting to think that I need to retake it in person. I took the majority of my undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration degree Southern New Hampshire University online and my Master of Science in Health Care Administration degree from another university in person. I took summer and flex community college courses. Also, I took summer and flex courses from SNHU that counted towards my BS in Business Admin with a concentration in Health Care Administration. I took the prereqs later in person i.e. Biology, Physics, Chemistry. My mother always warned me about taking courses online. I should have listened but I wanted to earn my degree faster. Now I understand why she was weary of it because I learned the hard way.

Will I even really get a job with my online degree?

To ratify this, I am considering getting a second degree but this time in Biology or Biomedical Sciences.

If you earned the degree from a Regionally Accredited facility, then it's legitimate. This isn't the early 2000s where an online degree is only given out by those scam schools that play commercials at 3am.
 
@gonnif Yes, every other class was live. Yes, I have learned the hard way to always listen to my mother. She told me to go out of state for medical school and that is what I will be doing next. Thank you for your informative post.
