My regards to the community, I am working as an junior to a technical writer and have my job prospects much better but they say that I need an English degree for that. I did think of joining a university but that wouldn’t be practical as I have a job on my hands and a few responsibilities to be taken care of, so the best I feel is to go for an online degree which has to be from an accredited college. I would like you to suggest me accredited colleges that conduct online English degrees.

Thanks in advance!

These are not specifically online colleges but rather distance colleges. They are both accredited and well-respected by many agencies.
