As far as your first inquiry, I don’t know that any such college exists that offers a complete Finance degree online. Most of these online colleges offer broad business degrees, such as a Bachelor’s of Business Administration. I’ve never really heard of something specific like a Finance degree offered online.

Plus there’s no way that you’ll finish it in 2 years. Even going 21 hours per semester (if your GPA allows it), if you are just starting from point zero it’ll still take you roughly 3 full years to complete the necessary 128 hours.

Most colleges won’t be cheap, unless you either a) go to a community college first and happen to live in-district/in-state, or b) happen to lucky enough to qualify for grants. And even online colleges cost at least $4000+ per full semester (why I don’t know since there’s no overhead costs like buildings and electricity and such).

Getting a loan through FAFSA is relatively easy. Just fill out the application online and your EFC determines the rest. Like I mentioned earlier, you can be lucky enough to receive grants to pay for everything, or you can still receive subsidized or unsubsidized loans for the rest.

Probably the best deal out there for you would be to go to a state university that specifically has a Finance degree program. You can then rightfully declare it as your major. I should know because I have such a Finance degree from TxState university. While it won’t be cheap, hopefully the FAFSA results will help you out. Hope this helps.
