No regionally accredited universities do this. This is because a doctoral program requires close mentoring, and a community of peers. History research requires archival familiarity, and this certainly cannot be acquired from the comfort of one's living room.
Bottom line: Doctoral-level studies cannot be replicated, or even approximated, online.
Any institution that claims to be able to do this is fleecing students, because such a degree would never be accepted in academic circles.

I would recommend NO distance learning programs-especially not for a phd. There have been widespread reports of students hiring impostors to take online courses for them,. This means that any online program is considered questionable. As a former job recruiter, I can say that we never hired anyone with an online degree. You should also be aware that American Public University uses deceptive practices. It it a for-profit school despite the fact that it calls itself public. I would definitely avoid any for-profit or any online-only college. University of louisiana is legit, but online programs generally are not well received in the job market. This is especially true for graduate level courses.

Yes there are a lot of distance learning schools available offering doctoral degrees in history. Try University of Phoenix Online. You can also use a database search for doctoral degrees and you may be able to find around 5 other schools offering. You have to be selective in picking the school you want to go to and make sure it is not a diploma mill.
