It'd be cheaper to get your degree via CLEP, DANTES and GRE Subject tests and get a degree from Excelsior College, Charter Oak State College or Thomas Edison State College, the only three regionally accredited schools that don't have a residency requirement (meaning you can take one class from them and graduate coupled with credits from anywhere else that's regionally accredited)

It's the only reason I finally got a degree after coupling credits from 4 years in the Air Force and 3 years of undergraduate work @ 3 schools. It would've been cheaper had I done it entirely that way and probably less than $7000.

Sigh. This might be a good guide on how to learn the general premises behind college. It is not a "college education."

The college process is about communication between teachers and students. It's about meeting peers and having the freedom to try things you wouldn't ever try as part of a job. You can't get that online, and you can't get it just by reading books.
