Does anyone know of or have experience with affordable online colleges?
I am married with 2 kids and work full time. I do not have the time to physically take classes at a school (the closest community college is an hour away). I want to further my education, but just don’t know where to go. I recently withdrew from an online school for several reasons, including the soaring tuition. Does anyone have any recommedations? What about Western Governor’s University? Thanks!

These days, many quite reputable private and state colleges offer courses and even degrees online. They call it “distance education.”
At the link below, you will find distance education programs offered through absolutely respectable and fully accredited universities like the University of Maryland, Penn State University, Indiana University, Iowa State University, New York University, University of California at Davis, and even Columbia University, Stanford University, and Cornell University.
Best wishes to you.

Western Governor’s University holds a regional accreditation. That’s a good thing! Choosing an online school really depends on the field of study you’re pursuing. Unfortunately, online schools are expensive. Check with local colleges and see if they offer online programs. Since you’d be going through that local college, tuition may not be so high. Good luck with your search!

I’m not sure what kind of degree you want, but Penn Foster College has a really great list and they are not too expensive. They charge an average of $900 a class. I use Penn Foster and I pay $34 a month.
