accredited online college courses?
I currently attend University of Pittsburgh Johnstown. A branch of Pitt. I absolutely hate the college and my last option would be to go back. I was majoring in education and decided I didn't want to be a teacher. I did awful enough that I can't even transfer to another college (Indiana University of Pennsylvania, IUP.)
I am so scared I will have to go back. Emotionally I can't take it there at all.
The three courses I messed up on were gen-eds. (psychology, English comp, and math) Is there any online courses I could take that are accredited and will allow me to then transfer.

It happens, don’t worry about it, now how to procede is a good question.
Regardless of which school you are looking to get into, I think you will need more than 1 course of good academic performance. Schools want to see that you have a good chance of success before accepting you. I would plan a full semester or 2 of B-level or better work before re-applying to the school of your choice.
Where to go: There are a ton of regionally accredited (the highest level) of online programs out there. So the first thing to do is narrow down what your major is going to be, so that you don’t take a bunch of unneeded courses. If you can’t narrow it down yet, focus initially on taking general education requirements that will apply to most majors.
Make sure that your school is regionally accredited; this will help ensure credit transfer. Curriculums don’t match 100% between schools, but in most cases you should be able to transfer 90% or more of the credits. Especially true when you are transferring a small number of credits.
UoP is regionally accredited (the credits would transfer) and our company accepts all applicants with regionally accredited degrees, regardless of delivery format (we are one of the largest employers in the state). However I can’t recommend them due to the price, and the compressed format (5-6 week courses) favors those who have a lot of experience in the field and are now going back for a degree.
If you repost a question stating your major, and what factors are most important to you (price, school name recognition, regional location), I’m sure people can point out a selection of online programs to choose from.
EDIT:
YIKES! Online universities are accredited, you can verify it with CHEA or department of Ed.
I understand, the best adive that I could give you would be to check APUS, american public university. They're accredited and I believe you would find them to be most helpful since it is online and the univeristy is fantastic!!! Good Luck!!
*I'm sure that the majority of your credits would transfer as well…
Online universities are not accredited. However, many community colleges offer online courses and community college is very easy to get into.
