Decide where you want to finish your degree.
This will be largely driven by where you have the most amount of college credit. Most traditional colleges and universities have limits on the amount of course work that can be completed with online courses. A limit ranging from 25-50% or more is not uncommon. So, it makes sense to finish your program at the school at which you have the most college credit.
