Where to find an affordable, primarily distance learning graphic design degree?

I live in Eastern NC and would like to work toward getting a degree in graphic design. I already have a bachelor's in marketing, which hasn't done much for me, and have a passion for the art of design.

Are there any schools in the area that offer programs in design that would allow me to take either distance learning courses or mainly night and weekend courses (because I work a M-F, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. job). The more affordable, the better. Thanks!

If a Bachelor's in marketing isn't doing enough for you, I think another degree in design will do even less for your money. There is a glut of graphic designers out there looking for work right now. The job market sucks for advertising and marketing in general right now.

If you want to be employed, a degree in project management is much more versatile and you can still use it within the marketing/advertising field. If that don't pan out a project manager is employable in most fields and a good step towards management.

If you really have a passion for design, you can probably teach yourself it, by reading lots of books and online blogs, as well as practicing by doing self assigned projects. There are alot of self taught famous designers. It's really all about having a great portfolio.
