The number of choices in the field of economics at respectable universities (with an on-campus presence as well as on-line programs) in the U.S. is quite limited. The tendency is for online programs to be more professional in nature, so there are plenty in engineering or business, and fewer in such traditional academic disciplines as economics. But there are distance programs overseas that offer degrees in economics. The best of these that I am aware of is the University of London. Their External Programme offers a variety of master's degrees in various fields of economics by distance learning. These include master's degrees in agricultural economics, financial economics, applied environmental economics, and banking. The also offer a postgraduate diploma in economic principles. These are distance programs, but the study format may differ from the typical online format popular int the U.S. http://www.londonexternal.ac.uk/course_search/subject_groups.php There are other programs offered by univeristies in Australia, Belgium, Germany, South Africa and the United Kingdom, but I do not know how good these are. See my source below. In some fields of study, it is necessary to wait for online learning to catch up to you, and eventually it does. Several years ago there were no ways to take graduate level math courses online at a U.S. university. Today the situation is different, and you can study for a graduate math degree online. The same may someday be true in economics.
