The most common program I've heard of is Mississippi State:

Penn State has a distance program as well:

Distance programs in meteorology have their shortcomings. For example, most distance programs seriously lack dynamics and thermodynamics courses which use physics to model the atmosphere. However, these two programs will definitely give you the basics.

Cheers!

Responding to WxEtte, I would choose Penn State over Mississippi State. Also, if you choose to do distance education, I would be sure to try and get some internships or other work experience. I recommend the National Weather Service, I've had two great experiences with them. Meteorology is really hands-on, so the internships could help make up some for what you're lacking by not being in the actual classes and labs.
