What are My Options for a Cheap Online Degree?
Although the cost of postsecondary education is anything but cheap, students may be able to save a considerable amount of money by completing online degree courses. Even ignoring the cost of tuition, students will avoid the costs of on-campus housing, transportation, parking and meals. This can add up to several thousand dollars in savings each school year. Room and board at colleges runs from $10,000 to $12,000 and more according to College Navigator (www.nces.ed.gov). Also, many traditional colleges charge additional fees, such as lab fees and equipment-use fees.
