Computer Science or ISYS degree online?

My wife graduated from BYU in Psychology with a 3.8 GPA. She is looking to now get a degree in Computer Science or ISYS -- but since we are expecting a boy in a few months she is looking for an online program. Are there any good online programs out there?

If she wants to do programming, she should move to Bangalore
