I would prefer not to go through the University of Phoenix or something like that. I am much more in favor of taking them through a traditional college (all online).

I already have my associates, I want to get my bachelors.
 
Traditional degree != All online....

University of Phoenix is the closest thing I think exists to an online degree program that's respectable

I've been working on a full time basis and going to school full time ever since I graduated HS and now I'm graduating a full year early BS CompSci, Econ Minor, 2.9 GPA. It's all about the can-do attitude and a little bit of luck when it comes to your job hunting... I've been on call 365/24/7 for years straight in exchange for a little bit of extra flex time at each of my jobs with no complications. My resume glows with the work experience.
 
A lot of universities offer online classes to help with Graduate students with work schedules, but any degree that's TOTALLY earned online is going to be lacking. It may not be lacking in content, but will be lacking in perceived value from who you present it to. There are a lot of useless online universities out there....I wouldn't take the risk.
 
Dozens, hundreds even. Everything from Business to Computer Science, to ABET accredited Engineering. Give me a subject area and I'll get you some links.
 
Oh, and 99% of these places won't distinguish between delivery method on the diploma or transcript. So those of you who think online != traditional, well, the joke is on you.
 
Not sure about the online part's possibility on all degree, at least those lab session you have to do it in the school. I suppose you can take those classes from a near by university and transfer the credit.

And yes, people usually don't look at an online only university as equivalent to a traditional university that also offer online classes.

And when I show up for an interview with my online Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Florida State University, or maybe my Master of Science in Information Systems from Carnegie Mellon University (just two random examples), is an employer going to say, "Did you get this on campus or online?". Nope. I bet none of you even knew Florida State or CMU had those programs fully online. And the transcripts or diploma won't tell anyone otherwise!

Hmm, CIS...would a BS in Information Technology be ok too?

For starters have a look at Nova Southeastern in Florida. They have a BS in CIS online, and a law and medical school - certainly not an "online" university!

RIT has some online degrees that only require a 3 day weekend up their for some labs. But you need Associates degree to get in. Doesn't help me :\

I don't know of any project management degrees at the undergraduate level. But how about a MS from Winsconsin, Platteville?
