From what I can tell, as long as you meet the requirements, you shouldn't have a problem. It only states you must be a "college graduate with at least a four-year degree." The Army doesn't care what your degree is in or which mode of delivery you obtained it in.

Absolutely. As long as it's from an accredited college, it's still a degree.
