As long as a university is ACES accredited that Bachelors Degree will suffice whether online or traditional.... FYI, the Army National Guard (NY) will enlist you into the OCS program with 60 credits where you do a years worth of weekend drills at OCS with two weeks at the beginning and two weeks at the end. Upon graduation / commissioning you will have to have 90 credits and a Bachelors Degree before you can be promoted to captain. The whole time you attend OCS you will be paid at the SGT/E5 rate.

I suspect that a degree from that university is sufficient, but an Army recruiter will need to verify that for you. The OCS requirements say that you need a four-year degree. I didn't see any further specified characteristics of the degree (within a specific academic discipline) or the university (must have a specific type of accreditation). Bellevue is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, so I suspect the modality of the degree (online) is immaterial.

And do you want a full 20-30 ur career, or do you want o do a single tour, then go civilian, whether civil SVC or industry at all, if you can say? And, what outside work types thus far? Degree related? Unrelated?
