Not really. It's a story that nationally accredited schools like to tell, but it's not really true.

Regionally accredited schools simply don't take credits from schools that aren't.

I know several students who've transferred to WGU (RA, non-profit, online) to complete their bachelors degrees.

There are also students compiling lists of schools which will consider and/or accept UoPeople credits/degrees.

The idea that UoPeople is some kind of academic dead-end is simply not accurate. It's not going to get as far as a degree from a no-name state uni on its own, but it can definitely be leveraged to further one's goals.
