Anyone know any place else?
Here's a few I found with a quick search. I can't vouch for any of the info, but it looks like there are quite a few of them out there, and being offered by some pretty big name schools.

Thanx. Some of those are pretty top notch.
Devry has an interesting program but some grads have complained. It is accredited but there is some question over whether it is accepted by some employers or that its credits will transfer. If you check the Online Degree Review site you can find a number of complaints.

Devry is RA (NCACS), so the issue must be program accreditation. Some of their programs are ABET accredited, apparently some are not.
Seems like if that is important somebody ought to check it out first before jumping in. Although once again we see how useless RA really is when program accreditation is the key to acceptance. RA schools tout RA knowing full well it's irrelevant to professions where ABET accreditation or similar is required. How many kids right out of high school have the first clue?
Another example of how RA lack of transparency (i.e., either outright lying or failing to fully disclose the facts) results in more government sanctioned ripoffs. People who sold securities or similar investments with such lax disclosure would be doing time. When RA universities do it that's just the "gold standard" at work.
