I was just wondering if any program exists that would allow a
bachelors degree program (preferably online programs) to be started
without any prior college
credits. Is this possible or not?

Dear Drawleinad, 

Of course it is possible. In fact, most people start learning towards
a bachelor degree without having an associate degree before. Most
those who go to college today, earn a bachelor in four years.

Naturally, taking a degree online, or in evening classes, might take
longer as it would had, if you went to a regular college and enrolled
there.

Degrees are offered in a vast array of subjects and you have first to
decide: what is the best for you? What do you like to do the most?
What interest you? What might be a good job, or a dream job, that
requires this degree?

After you've decided on a subject, you can check, which institutions
offer it. If you're looking for an online provider, I suggest the
following book and site:

Bears' Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning (by John Bear) 

Degree Info
www.degreeinfo.com 

If online/distance learning is not such an important factor, it might
be best to check with your local college, which degrees are offered
that would suit you.

So, I hope this answered your question. I wish you good luck in school!

You can take CLEP exams and collect REAL college credit immediately.
See http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html 
Deposit all your college level credits with the Thomas Edison State College.
See http://www.tesc.edu/aboutus/ 
The College was created by the state of New Jersey to develop
flexible, high-quality educational opportunities for adults. The
College originated from the idea that the college-level knowledge
adults gain outside the classroom could be measured and applied toward
an academic degree.

You can also get college credit for Life Experience. Go to a local
library and ask for books on the subject, or visit
http://www.icn.org/studentservices/lifeexp.html for more information

Good Luck
