Ohio State, University of Missouri, Western Kentucky, Northwestern, University of Texas, Syracuse University. Top notch schools.......depends on how much you want to spend.
You won't find a decent online course. Most of the learning is on-the-job-training. Apply for an internship at the local paper.

Find out where your favorite photojournalist and/or documentarian studied. Keep in mind that most universities' journalism programs are part of communications. There are a few that are separate. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.

Sadly, Ohio State doesn't have much of a PJ program any more. SU and Mizzou are probably top two. Richard Koci Hernandez is at SF state if memory serves, and he's magical. Ohio U isn't bad, but they're very still-focused.

If you're more interested in documentary, Syracuse has one of the few Doco Film programs in the US. I TAed for the DFH chair a few years ago, really cool guy.
