University of Phoenix, Kaplan University are some of the best. I am enrolled in Ashworth College, which is a lot cheaper, and I checked with my local university to make sure that they were accredited, and if in the future I wanted to transfer if the credits would be good, and they said yes

I would regard online universities as the absolute last resort for someone seeking higher education.
The quality of education these programs offer is minimal - there is simply no substitute for the kind of dynamic interactions and discussions that commonly occur in face-to-face college courses. Also, the quality of educator is significantly less at online universities - the best faculty choose to teach at real colleges and universities. Both the pay and work environments are far superior to online universities. So, for great classes from great instructors, go to a real college or university.
Also, because of the minimal training they offer, employers and graduate institutions place little value in degrees earned from online programs. Many of these programs lack even basic accreditation for the degree programs they offer.
Bottom line - you will receive little if any personal or professional benefit from online universities relative to what you could have received from a real college or university.

Yes, there are plenty.
I would stay away from the places like University of Phoenix, Kaplan, CTU, etc. They exist to make money. Providing an education usually is their side business.
I went to Cal State Dominguez Hills for my MBA. It is just as recognized as San Jose State or any other state college in the US for that matter.
Go to www.degreeinfo.com. They have a pretty good listing of accredited colleges. Stay away from Kennedy-Western.
