Hello everyone! With everything moving online these days, I'm considering remote learning for college. I'd like to find a balance between quality education and affordability. So, anyone have suggestions for the most economical online colleges?
Sure, it's absolutely possible to find plenty of affordable and high-quality online colleges. Let me give you some options:
1. Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU): This university is well-regarded for its online programs. They offer a variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees in many disciplines. The tuition is quite affordable.
2. Western Governors University (WGU): WGU is unique because it's competency-based, meaning you progress through courses as soon as you can prove you've mastered the material. This could allow you to move faster and save money in the long run.
3. Arizona State University (ASU) Online: ASU offers a wide range of online programs, and they have partnerships with big corporations which allows some students to get discount tuition, such as the Starbucks College Achievement Plan for Starbucks employees.
4. University of Florida Distance Learning: For in-state students, the UF online programs can be quite affordable and they offer a strong reputation as well. The cost varies for in-state versus out-of-state students but is overall comparable to the rates of the other universities on this list.
Remember, the cost per credit hour isn't the only factor to consider. You’ll also want to look at graduation rates, student support services, and how well the program fits your schedule and learning style. I hope that helps and best of luck in your college search!
