What are some good schools to pursue that you're going to get a good education (not a complete joke), nationally accredited, and easy on the wallet? Any recommendations.
WillieJoe, If you aren't dead set on a degree in finance, a BS in business administration may meet your needs. Check out the University of Wyoming's program here.
BSBA Finance You might want to consider IU-East(Indiana University "East" campus) as well. The online classes are offered by Purdue and other Indiana University campuses. http://www.iue.edu/online/bs-finance.php Good Luck
