If you’re considering doing online college, check to see if they offer your program!

They also offer certificates!

So check it out, and make sure to let other folks know who are interested in these types of programs. At least in the US, it can save tens of thousands of dollars, so it’s worth researching!

EDIT: To clarify, their accreditation is national, which will mean you won’t be able to transfer credits to regionally accredited intuitions. This is not entirely unusual for online only college, but should be considered. So I will leave this as my parting word, if you are considering an online college that only has national accreditation, please consider this one instead of that one, as this one I will bet money is cheaper.

And here is estimated fees: According to the University of the People, they charge no tuition fees but students must pay some administrative fees to cover course assessments, ranging from $2,460 for an associate’s degree (two years) to $4,860 for a bachelor’s degree (four years). These include processing fees for applications and final exam assessments.

    I wish I could upvote/boost this more than once each. I’m also amused by proud proclamations that

    They also offer certificates!

    I mean, my company offered certificates, too, when you completed training courses. Our receptionist, Dawn, made them up real fancy on her computer, then printed them out on high-quality paper and our manager signed them. I suspect these “certificates” may be just as valuable as Dawn’s were.

      I mean I was mostly pointing out that if you wanted to test it out you could very easily and do a short certificate.

      But I still don’t understand the hostility, as many online only colleges only have national accreditation. I specifically said if you’re looking at online schooling you should check it out, because it’s probably equivalent and much cheaper.
