Because many longstanding, regionally accredited, and completely reputable state universities now offer courses and even degrees online, you can now pursue almost any area of study through distance education.
The links below are the absolute best you will find. They contain more links to many well-respected state university distance education programs.
What distinguishes these sorts of programs is that the courses are generally transferable between regionally accredited institutions.
I would advise you to start by looking at the state university system in the state in which you live, and check to see if they offer the programs and courses in which you are interested. If not, check some other state universities. (Pennsylvania has a great system, for instance.)
Avoid the "online universities" (for-profit businesses, like U Phoenix, Capella, AIU, etc.) at all costs. These businesses do not deliver on their promises.
Note: In institutions of higher education, regional accreditation is better than national accreditation. This sounds odd, but I assure you that it is the case.

First of all, you really need to be careful because most online schools are just scams who will take your money and give you a "degree" that isn't worth the paper its printed on. University of Phoenix is not a legitimate school and is not taken seriously by employers. Most schools that only offer online classes are not reputable. You need to look for a school that has a real campus that also offers online courses. Do some major research before investing any money into something like that, its become this huge money-making scam.

I highly recommend the online program offered by Baker College out of Michigan.
Tuition rates run about $180.00 per credit hour.
Classes are a 6-week period, four semesters with 2 sessions each.
So, if you can carry 2 classes per session, in a 12-month period, you can clear 16 classes!
Requirements to log in 5 of 7 days for participation. Format is easy if you like reading e-mails or blogs.

I earned my Associates Degree in Business, graduating with honors while working a full-time jobs with 2 kids at home.
Good luck!

I don't suppose that you have anything like our Open University in the US?
