Online undergrad degrees, exist but are few and far between. A good many have substandard curriculum, others are "ok" granting you a legit degree from a recognized school, but probably lower quality education than in person.
Most of the decent ones are expensive, and many still consider in/out of state tuition. There are a few good deals I've seen, highly dependent on being in-state.
The only "useful" ones you'll find tend to be CS, a handful of EE degrees exist online (no clue how that works) along with some other fields. Occasionally you'll find some in the natural sciences, but they tend to be BA's and explicitly for pre-law, pre-med, etc. I've seen maybe one online math degree and tons of social science ones, as well as "we made this major up to target to poor working people who will give us money".
At the end of the day, they exist, but are uncommon and probably not worth the price.
I researched going back to school online for years, but if I do it, I will probably do it in person (at least for the important years).
