60 Minutes story on a GOOD on-line college...Which was it?

They've done several stories on how horrible and costly on-line, for profit universities are -- But they also did a story on a good one. (not-for-profit, yearly tuition around $2500, well structured education program, etc.)

I'm trying to find out which the good one was!

Update:

I'm looking for this one to compare it to a community college on a $/unit basis - and then factor in the convenience of on-line vs physically going somewhere (I'm handicapped). I'm currently a credentialed substitute, but got my BA almost 20 yrs ago. I want to take a few undergrad classes, mainly math and sci, to firm up my knowledge base before going for a MaT and full single subj credential, in Math, Science and History (yes, I know it's a lot to bite off!)

    Sounds like Western Governors.

    There are also a number of established bricks and mortar schools that have decent online education - look at Villanova, UMD [Maryland] and FSU [Florida State] as examples. If the program you look at doesn't match up well against these programs, you know that it is probably bogus.
