I have a friend who works for the Nevada Department of Education whose job it is to research universities and make recommendations on accreditation. I asked him about the University of Phoenix a couple of months ago. He said UP is a good school and accredited. They are not just an on-line school, but have campuses in several locations. They have a huge campus in Denver (actually Aurora I think) near a huge technology center. Their main focus is adults who work full-time and are looking to improve their careers. They have a PhD program which is quite rigorous, but it is focused on adavancing you in your chosen career rather than training you for a life of research and teaching. They are quite expensive as well, but since most students get their companies to pay tuition, they get away with it.
