That's my understanding as well, I'd avoid places like University of Phoenix.
A quick search shows a bunch of "better" colleges offering at least some online-only programs. Another option also might be to take some classes online, and finish your last few classes in person at a "real" college. (Make sure credits will transfer first). You'll get to take most of it how you want, and still get the same degree as those who went the traditional way.
