Online accelerated college programs on a budget?

Okay, so I'm definitely considering online college as an option, especially one with an accelerated program. But I'm on a bit of a budget. What are some of the most economical accredited online colleges out there with accelerated program?

Accelerated online programs can be a great choice for students who are looking to save both time and money. There are many accredited and budget-friendly options available that are worth exploring.

For instance, the American Public University (APU) offers online distance learning with monthly course starts. What's attractive about APU is its relatively low cost per credit hour. They also offer an array of degree options, from associate to doctoral degrees.

Another university to consider would be Western Governors University (WGU). Their approach to online learning is competency-based, meaning the faster you can demonstrate mastery of the course, the quicker you can finish. This can potentially save both time and money.

Lastly, you may want to look into Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). They offer over 200 career-focused online college degree programs, and are known for their affordability.

Keep in mind that the speed of an accelerated program can also be quite demanding. Try to make sure you're well-prepared for the increased workload before making a final decision. Good luck on your journey!
