Almost every major, and most minor, university in the US offers courses online these days. It's just no big deal. Many offer degrees wholly online.

Some of the for-profits (UoP et al) are regionally accredited.

The following well known universities have online classes and they are RA as well.

Harvard, UMass, Boston U, U Fla, Brigham Young, UCLA... in fact, just surf of to University of [your state] and see what they're offering.

It's NOT worse at all -- the research says it's harder and you learn more. Check it out on Google scholar. The only difference in online/classroom is that the online folks miss out on those more important drinking, drugs, and babe/dude social interactions.

How is watching a streamed video of a Hawking lecture on physics "worse" than listening to Tommy Jones the grad assistance deliver a physics lesson?

Accreditation sets minimum standards. Do you seriously think a University of Phoenix grad and a Harvard grad have equal opportunity just because they're both regionally accredited? It's like food inspection. Food is inspected to make sure it's not going to make you sick, beyond that, the inspection tells you little. The beef used in Taco Bell burritos and the beef in a prime filet mignon in a high-end steakhouse both passed inspection. It doesn't mean they both taste the same. Almost all fully-online schools are for-profit. They are after your money much more so than traditional universities.
