The first thing you need to know is that most "online degree programs" that you see advertised all over the internet and TV are crap.
The problem is not with the concept of "online education," or even with accreditation; the problem is with the University of Phoenix, and all of those other notoriously lousy schools: AIU, Capella, Penn Foster, etc. Degrees issued by these schools are simply not respected in the business world, and frankly, they are laughed at in academia.
Just ask ANY Human Resources person in ANY major corporation. They'll tell you that a degree from an "online university" is worthless, and that they do not consider applicants with only those degrees.
However, there is good news. If online study is your *only* option, it is now possible to earn your degree from a completely reputable state university. (Note the difference: Distance education, not "online university.")
The links below are the absolute best you will find. They contain more links to many well-respected state university distance education programs.
I would advise you to start by looking at your own state university system and check to see if they offer the programs and courses in which you are interested. If not, check out those of other states.(Pennsylvania and Maryland have great systems, for instance.) A degree from a state university will be recognized and respected as authentic by employers and academics everywhere.
Bottom line? Just click the links below. You'll be glad you did.

Where are you? In Australia, Open University gives an accredited degree (www.open.edu.au)

there are many places you can get an onlne degree, but it is much more prestigious to actually go to college and its way more fun.
