Information Systems Security course by ASU question

I want to pursue a degree from American Sentinel Univ. in Information Systems Security, however my parents are against it. They say distance learning is not worth much on my future CV, and that it wouldn’t amount to much on my college application.
How much of that is true? Will a Bachelors in Information Systems Security help alot in my application?
(Note: I asked ASU and they said I can take the classes with grades and all, but I’ll get the degree only once I graduate from high school)
