What University offers an online master degree?

In summary, the conversation revolved around a person looking for an online master's degree in Physics due to personal responsibilities preventing them from traveling to other countries. The other person mentioned that there are no reputable online master's programs in Physics, but there are some in engineering and business in the US. The conversation ended with the person asking for information on universities offering online master's programs in engineering, to which the other person provided two options from the University of Arizona and Purdue University.

Hi guys

I want to study an online master degree in Physics, and I want to know if someone know about Universities that offer this option.

I live in Ecuador. I want to study more but I can not travel to other countries for a very large time due to personal responsabilities. I am a Physics graduate, my published papers are about nanoparticles, lighting, optics and metrology. I want a master degree in this line.

Could you help me with this information?

Thanks
