University of Phoenix is one. Also a lot of big name schools are now offering online programs. Some of the legitimate schools also offer programs that allow you to get credit for some of your life experience which can shorten the time to a degree and save you some money. (NONE of the legitimate schools will let you write off a majority of your degree...one sign it is a real school).
You may find a selection of them on websites designed to help prospective students pick a college, like www.princetonreview.com or www.directoryofonlineschools.com
Good luck.

I think you are confused. National accreditation is not the best. You want Regionally Accredited (almost any big named school) Go to www.nca.org
For example, U of Phoenix is regionally accredited not nationally.
DeVry University is Regionally accredited. They are not an online school... they have over 75 campuses/centers across the country, but they offer online programs for flexibility. You can do a mix and match. www.devry.edu
