    Hello every body,

    I need some help that I hope I can find here and thank you for it.

    I am located in Italy and I am searching a BS in economics,
    I would like it to be cheap, cost is an issue for me. I would like it to allow me all round the year enrollment so I can start right aways.
    I dont want it to have proctored exams bcz this reacts alot of extra costs around 150 USD/exam.
    If for the entery they dont ask for a toefl test or any other cost creating test would be appriciated.
    It has to be accreditated so I can continue my studies with out particular worring about the value of my degree.
    I want it to be in the US.
    for cheap i mean 100-150 usd/credit hour.
    thanks all

    I would suggest that you look at the Economics programs offered through the University of London.
    http://www.londonexternal.ac.uk
    There are also programs offered through the University of Southern Colorado and the University of Wales-Aberystwyth but I believe the U of L program would be the most affordable. Please note that it is completed entirely through self-study, not the easiest method for many. Good luck,
    Jack

    Colorado State University at Pueblo (formerly known as the University of Southern Colorado) is accredited by the North Central Association, so you should have little trouble getting into grad school with their degree. They offer a distance learning BSS (Bachelor of Social Science), which includes 33 semester hours of general education requirements, 36 semester hours in the social sciences (21 in the social science core and 15 in the major which, in your case, will be economics), and 51 semester hours of free electives.

    hello
    Thanks for ur valuable helps. I am giving colorado state univeristy a deeper look, and again i had some questions that i hope will find answer here.
    I went through their list of courses and choose the ones that have no proctored exam, but some have prequisits that i cant find in their list of courses, this means that i have to find another insitute to get those credits from and then transfer them to csu?
    tnx again
