So I didn’t do well in high school or during my 2 and a half years at community college. I had accumulated 84 credits with a terrible 2.27 GPA. I got accepted to CSU Global and have taken 18 courses so far and all of my grades have been A’s. I am now scared that these degree’s I am working towards "Management Information System’s " and “Business Management” will be worthless. But if I continue with getting the grades that I am I should have a 3.0 GPA. So here is my question would any college look my those courses and my GPA seriously? I would like to enroll in a Electrical Engineering program but I cant seem to find any that will accept me. I am in New York but I would be willing to relocate or study online. But the later probably wont be likely since there are not many ABET accredited online programs. Thanks in advanced guys.
Are you planning to finish your business degrees and then do a second degree in EE?
Try New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology or South Dakota School of Mines and Technology for EE programs with relatively easy admissions criteria.
HBCUs are also pretty easy to get into.

Yeah, I do plan on finishing just because it will help bring my GPA to the 3.0 range. If anybody has any experiences from CSU-Global please share them. I am not sure how an employer will look at a degree from there. Thanks for the recommendations it seems as if I do have a chance with those schools.
In the majority of cases, a degree is a degree.
If you want electrical engineering why go to CSU Global, it’s an online school with no engineering.
If you’re in NY, take a look at this list:

Find schools on the list that are ABET accredited in EE.
