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.

    Currently the DEAC is recognized by Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the United States Department of Education as an accreditor of institutions of higher education.

    This is NOT a regional accreditation body.

    It looks like there are potential issues with transferring credits to more traditional schools.

    Without being regionally accredited, I would suspect a student would have major difficulties transferring any credits they received from UO People.
