I have been taking on-line classes for three years at a community college. There are a lot of schools offering on-line degrees, Penn State has programs in Business. Check around, it depends on what major you are looking to do. You are right on not all schools getting you a degree that will be recognized in the real world.

Before you commit any money ot time to an online school, do more research.
There was an article in last weeks New York Times (Sunday, Feb 11, 2007) about the University of Phoenix which is the largest and best known online school.
It explains how they received the largest fine in the history of education for "systematically" lying about their programs, how as few as 5% of the students at some locations ever graduate, and how they are facing so many lawsuit problems that they might go backrupt.
Check it out before you commit!

I have an associates from a brick and mortar school, a bachelor degree from an online program, and am working on my masters online as well. Online is very difficult. You will spend most of your time researching and writing papers, so if writing isn't your forte then I would suggest going to college the normal way. I know the hospital where I work doesn't think my bachelor degree is worth much, but then they don't know what I know either.
Univ of Phoenix is very expensive-- I think the most expensive online school out there, but they also have local classes too in major metropolitan areas. Bellevue has some good programs too. Some of them require a proctor for test taking and some don't have tests, just papers, lots of lots of research papers.
I will say try to stay away from the accelerated classes. That information passes by you so quickly that you don't have time to learn it.
Capella Univ, Walden Univ, Univ of Phoenix, Kaplan Univ, and a lot of others. Go to dogpile.com and do a search for online colleges that teach what you want to major in.

A lot of traditional universities now offer degree programs online - I'd look into those first (check with your state's university system first) before looking at the schools that are exclusively online.
