Seeking info on distance learnings programs in EE

I am seeking some information on distance learning programs in
electronics. This message has three parts: (1) Some basic background
on my own educational background and professional experience. (2) My
short-term interest in electronics courses at the community college
level. (3) Longer-term interest in distance learning programs at the
Masters level.

(1) I earned my B.A. over twenty years ago from a respected four year
college, where I studied physics and applied math. In the years since
then, I have kept up with technology via studied in computer
programming, further classes in applied math (differential equations,
complex analysis, and related courses), and most recently, a couple of
classes in electronics (basic digital electronics, and basic circuit
theory). I work as a technical writer, documenting software and
hardware.

(2) For the short-term, I am seeking distance learning classes at the
community college level to round out my basis knowledge of
electronics. I can probably use another class in circuit theory,
probably covering topics at the level of AC steady-state analysis,
power, three-phase circuits frequency domain analysis, resonance,
Fourier series, inductively couple circuits, Laplace transform
applications, and circuit transfer functions. After that, I think I
could benefit from a course in transistor basics, and in basic
amplifier and op-amp design, basic oscillator design, etc. I am
hoping to find a community college that offers these courses as
distance learning. (So far I've found one near me, Northern Virginia
Community College, which offers the electric circuits courses, but not
the transistor/amplifier courses.) Any suggestions for such colleges
would be much appreciated.

(3) After taking those classes, I'm hoping to embark on a distance
learning MSEE program. I see that quite a few are offered, some of
them by some rather well-know universities -- Drexel, Colorado State,
Columbia, Fairleigh Dickinson, Iowa State, UC Boulder, University of
Illinois, UNC, Rensselaer, and others. I am curious to know if anyone
has taken part in any of these programs, and how your experiences have
been. I would also like to know if these Masters programs are taken
seriously by the corporate world, and/or by other universities. Any
feedback on the quality of the educational experience would be most
helpful.
