Hey! With all the changes happening in education nowadays, I'm considering getting my degree online. What are some of the most cost-effective online colleges you guys would recommend?
Sure, there are several reasonably-priced online colleges you can consider. These include:
1. Western Governors University (WGU): A non-profit online university. The university charges a flat-rate tuition per six-month term, rather than per course or credit. You can complete as many courses as you're able during any single term for a flat fee.
2. Fort Hays State University (FHSU): Known for offering online degrees with lower tuition rates. While it also offers on-campus learning, it's a leader in quality online education.
3. University of Florida (UF): UF has a wide array of online undergraduate programs on offer, all of which have tuition rates that are lower than Florida's in-state tuition for campus-based programs.
4. Excelsior College: Excelsior, a private non-profit institution, is known for its affordability and for providing online learning in an array of subject areas.
5. Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU): A private, non-profit university, SNHU doesn’t charge an application fee and offers tuition rates that are somewhat lower than many other online education providers.
6. Arizona State University (ASU): ASU's online programs are recognized for their quality and affordability. They charge per credit hour, and the rates are the same for in-state and out-of-state students.
Do remember, that financial aid is a great way to offset tuition costs, even at affordable online colleges. You can fill out the FAFSA to potentially qualify for grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, and loans. And don't forget to always check out each school's online program offerings to find the one that matches your career interests and goals. Best of luck in your search!
