Online Degrees

Doing a little research for my cousin and I know some of you have experience in this area.

Background - she's been at the same technology company in the bay area for 16 years (with a one year break when she was laid off then rehired). She started out as an admin and worked into her current position as a Business Process Analyst.

She went back to school and got her AA a few years ago. With current job market etc she'd like to get a BA. Most likely with emphasis on finance which would work with her current position. The company will pay a chunk of the tuition.

She did the AA at night going to regular classes. She's not looking forward to another 6 years of night school to get her BA. Are there any online degree programs that she might look into? She's checked with a friend who's with HR at another high tech company who said do NOT do University of Phoenix. Are there any good online programs that will look good on a resume if needed down the line?
