sanyika-ga,
Hello again,
I've compiled some additional information about online learning
opportunities from accredited schools that can provide a degree in the
areas you are interested in.
Along with the list of schools itself, I've also provided information
on resources you can use to explore more opportunities.
For starters, head to the DegreeInfo site, which is an excellent
resource for learning about accredited schools that provide distance
learning courses and degrees:
http://search.degreeinfo.com/
On this search page, you can use the pull-down menus to select all the
features of interest to you: the type of degree (e.g, Business, or
Marketing and Finance), locations, residency requirements, or keyword
searches).
The system will return a list of schools that meet your criteria, such
as this one here:
http://search.degreeinfo.com/static/searches/B-2.html
which is the results for a search on schools that offer online
Bachelor's degrees in Business & Management.
In addition to the five schools shown on the first page of the list,
note the link at the bottom of the page that says:
"Click here to see unsponsored schools."
This will take you to descriptions of even more schools that meet your
search criteria.
All the schools are accredited.
By conducting a number of searches for degrees in different program
areas, and at different levels (Associate, Bachelors, etc), I compiled
a list of schools with no residency requirements that seem to best
meet your criteria for online education. The schools are mostly based
in the US, though there are opportunities in Canada, UK, Hong Kong and
elsewhere around the world if you are so inclined:

This is one of the largest and most popular distance learning
institutions in the United States. However, aside from its Master's
degree programs (Liberal Studies and Nursing), this school does not
offer its own distance learning courses. Instead, they allow their
students to consolidate their credits from other regionally accredited
schools, and to earn credit through portfolio and examinations (such
as CLEP, DANTES, GRE, etc.); if this does not bring the student enough
credits to earn a degree, they will help them find the courses they
need from other regionally accredited distance learning programs to
finish their program.

students who study at the colleges of the university. Where available,
some students opt for tutoring but it is not a required part of the
curriculum. The External Programme also offers a range of
undergraduate and postgraduate diplomas and short courses for personal
or professional development. Distance learning courses are offered at
