The cheapest online route to a bachelor's degree in the US that I have found, from regionally accredited institutions, is:
Clovis Community College (
Clovis Community College) for generals/AA or AS, then Fort Hayes State (
Virtual College) to finish up the bachelor's degree.
So, for a typical 128 credit degree, the breakdown would be: 12 credits at Clovis for $468 (which would come to around
$2600 for 64 credits), and each credit at Fort Hayes State is $180 (which would come to about
$11,500 for 64 credits), for a grand total of around
$14,000 for an online, regionally accredited undergraduate degree. (Of course, there are other expenses such as books and technology fees, but still...)
That blows my mind, considering I paid $26K
per year at my college 15 years ago :-(
