A lot of colleges are opening virtual campuses. There use to be a stigma attached to this type of education, but anyone who has taken on line courses can tell you that they go out of their way to make them just as tough or tougher than in residence classes. I got my MEd from the University of West Florida and they were in the process of moving their program on line. I took half of my classes on-line and, as a rule, the on-line classes were more difficult than the brick and mortar part of the program.

One thing about doing the classes on line - they are usually more convenient if you're working around a job. The bad thing is that you need to be self motivated. If you don't have the self discipline to sit in front of the computer for six hours a day on the weekends you aren't going to succeed at getting a degree on-line.
