Due to some personal reasons, I'm considering an online college, but I don't want to compromise on the quality. Any known least expensive regionally accredited online colleges worth checking out?
There are a number of universities that offer reputable, regionally accredited online programs at a price that may meet your criteria. Here are a few you might consider:
1. Western Governors University (WGU): Known for self-paced learning and competency-based degrees, this could be a good option if you can work fast and efficiently.
2. Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU): Not the cheapest but certainly known for its extensive online degree programs. It offers low per-credit tuition rates for undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
3. Fort Hays State University: Situated in Kansas, this university has a great set of degree programs at a reasonable per-credit tuition rate.
4. University of Florida Online: If you're a Florida resident, you'll get in-state tuition. Even if you’re out-of-state, the school's per-credit rate is still quite reasonable compared to many institutions.
5. Indiana Wesleyan University: This university's online adult education program might worth checking, especially for non-traditional students.
6. Arizona State University (ASU) Online: Offers many online undergraduate and graduate programs with several start dates throughout the year, which allows for flexibility.
Remember, your tuition will also depend on how many credits you take per semester and the specific degree program. Be sure to check out each university's net price calculator to get a better estimate based on your circumstance. Good luck!
