None. If a University is accredited, it will be accredited EITHER in the USA, OR in the UK. However, credits earned at an accredited institution in the USA will transfer to an accredited university in the UK, and vice versa (well, usually!). I don't know about UK universities, but make sure your USA university is REGIONALLY accredited (not "nationally" accredited)
There are numerous accredited universities in the USA that have degrees that can be earned online or by correspondence. University of Alabama, University of Wisconsin, Thomas Edison Univ. Regents UNiversity of New York come to mind, and there are many dozens more. Get a copy of the book, Bears' Guide Distance Learning by John B. Bear, Ph.D. & Mariah P. Bear, M.A. - you can find it on eBay and half.com used, or go to Bears Guide (http://www.degree.net/books/bearsguide.htm) .
There is an old list put out by Steve Vise titled "COLLEGES THAT OFFER FULLY ACCREDITED DEGREES THROUGH CORRESPONDENCE STUDY WITH LITTLE OR NO TIME ON CAMPUS" . It's about 15 years old, so the info is a little dated. How do I know it's 15 years old? Because I am Steve Vise!
You can find it here: COLLEGES THAT OFFER FULLY ACCREDITED DEGREES THROUGH CORRESPONDENCE STUDY WITH LITTLE OR N (http://www.skepticfiles.org/aj/college1.htm) +++ At the time I wrote it, there was no such thing as the Internet, but I imagine that most of the universities in my list now offer online degrees.
Hope this helps!
