I do not know if this is applicable anymore–but a friend of mine was taking a graphic design course through The Bold Edge. What she like about it is that she dpoes not have to go according to a certain schedule and since it is not internet based she did not have to make sure she always had internet access. She just siegned up and started a week after that. She also had constant instructor support for any questions and also got design critique and ended up creating awsome design work!! I can get you their contact info and my friends as well.
sorry about the ramble but she was so gung ho about how amazing and clear the course is
