You need to be very careful with online college some are outright scams. The things you need to research are the colleges accreditations. If a school is properly accredited you are good. If its not the degree won't be worth the paper its printed on.

If u are getting financial aid most regular colleges have online classes.

But I'm sure there are decent online schools out there. I wish I remembered more about accreditation sorry but college was long ago.

You can check if a college is accredited on this site it looks like. I hope that helped a little.
