Online graphic arts bachelor's with a solid industry reputation?

I've been looking into this for my 9th grade son. He has a strong interest in computers and making/editing movies and pics, special effects, and similar. He's completed every free class available through Alison and Udemy. I asked about this a while back because I'm finding that "graphic design" is not one thing. There are very artsy disciplines, where you're drawing and animating and the like, and then there are computer science type disciplines. I still haven't got my brain wrapped around all the options and the best paths within those options, but I guess I'd start by saying he needs to define what graphic design looks like in his world. From there, he can search out a program.
