    Well, not just in the US - we have had high quality under graduate and graduate level distance learning since 1972:

    Thomas Edison State College
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison_State_College/
    http://www.tesc.edu/index.php/

    From the wikipedia article:

    The college offers 20 associate, bachelor's and master's degrees in more than 100 areas of study[5] to its more than 18,700 students in every state in the United States and more than 70 countries around the world. These programs are based in Thomas Edison State Collegeâ(TM)s five schools.

    It issues degrees based on granting credits for life experience, CLEP testing, and self-study course. They have no classrooms and are fully accredited and are a NJ state school, not a private Phoenix-like school. There are a few other schools like it around if you look. One of them is likely to offer a degree you want. http://www.tesc.edu/

    But then there are at least a few that do help you do things like CLEP out of classes based on life experience. And they are acredited, like the Thomas Edison State College in New Jersey.

    Then again, they're not a "Send us $99 and we'll give you an MBA" type of school, either.

  5. Does your "real" college offer online courses? by dbirchall · · Score: 1 · on How Do Managers Rate On-line Universities?
    I grew up in NJ, and at least one of my relatives got a degree from Thomas Edison State College. Sound like a normal state college? Well, it is a state college, part of the state system, yadda yadda -- but it's specialized in distance education and education for people who're in the workforce already, for about 3 decades.

    A lot of "real" colleges and universities are making more and more stuff available via distance/online education programs these days, as well. So maybe you can get a degree from a school that'll make the PHB's happy, while not having to spend too much time on campus.

    Try the Thomas Edison State College http://www.tesc.edu/

    "... "distance learning" school. Fully accredited and funded by the State of NJ, Thomas Edison delivers coursework electronically. Have experience that you know is worth college credits? Take the right Thomas Edison tests and earn those credits -- and the credits are transferrable. Or, earn your degree right at TE."

    I don't really know if this a real school, but this might be what you're looking for.

    You should pay a visit to Thomas Edison State College. They are fully regionally accredited, BSCS provided, give credit for previous learning and even work experience, and are very reasonably priced. You also probably want to visit Peterson's Guide (www.petersons.com ?) and alt.education.distance
