I am looking for a good online college program, My Mother has become ill and I am the only child close enough to help and keep and eye on her. My mom calls at all hours of the day and night when she needs help. So I thought That maybe I should try going to college online instead going in. I am afraid if I sign up for next semester I will miss alot of class. I know that I can do online classes because I have taken a couple before. What I am looking for is an online associtates degree. Any body take classes online? Any recommendations?

I don’t have any personal experience, but I know a few active duty military people who are taking courses through the [University of Phoenix](http://www.phoenix.edu) which is an online school. I haven’t heard any complaints from them.

I think the Straight Dope and SDMB qualify, but we’re not accredited.
