    I got to thinking about this and why not Mexico? I read about people who are willing to do a SA degree program, anyone have any info about the people next door? I would think that they would be cheaper then TESC if they had a degree completion program and should be useful as well in the US. Am I wrong, crazy, both? Do any Universities or Colleges from Mexico have DL programs?

    Hello- sorry, I can not address your Mexico question with specifics (because I don't have any).

    If you are looking for a place that is less expensive than TESC, The University of Wyoming has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, tuition is less than $100/credit. If you transfer in as a senior, the total cost will be about $3,000 for all of your classes... as opposed to about $2000 just in enrollment fees for Thomas Edison. Have you looked into taking any exams (CLEP, DSST)? They average out to about $33/credit and are accepted by most colleges, including UofWy. Also, you can take inexpensive community college classes from Clovis Community College ($225.00/6 credits) to fill some lower level requirements.

    I can't find info on their ACE transfer policy. If you consider this school, just email or call to find out.

    As for Mexico... you know, I would be interested in that information too. I have a feeling, however, that it won't be too much different in cost than schools in the USA.

    In fact, ironically, this is why I guess that it isn't cheaper. For one, the well-established institutions (the ones that would have proper resources to host a decent online course selection) probably only cater to the Mexican wealthy and to foreigners (IE, us). Also, as international students, we would not be able to benefit from government subsidies in their public colleges. Of course, this is just a guess until someone who actually knows something puts my postulations to rest :D

    I think you might be correct when it comes to the RA Mexican schools. But you would think that goverment accredited ones would be cheaper.

    The problem with at degree from Mexico is that you may find many potential employers questioning its validity. As we all know, DL degrees are already subject to that and I can't imagine adding the fact that it is from Mexico to just compound the problem. I'm sure there are some great universities in Mexico and some very high quality programs, but a potential employer would not be aware of that fact.

    I love Mexico and the Mexican people in general. My family has property there and I regularly go there to surf, to enjoy the beauty and to experience the great culture. I'm just afraid that there would be a prejudice against any degree from there.

    There once was a program that almost happened but it turned out to be bogus. You can do a search using the term MIGS if you'd like all the sordid details. Otherwise I think you'll find that thee are no Mexican distance learning college degree programs. I'm not going to try to explain why that is because I don't know. However, one thing you'll have to consider when searching out any non-US distance learning program(s) is the language of instruction. That why the US, British, Australian and South African systems are featured so much. The courses are all in the English language. There are DL programs all over the world but they're not going to do me any good if I don't speak/read/write the language of instruction with some substantial fluency.

    ¿Y quien tiene la culpa? :D

    I guess that means Mexican degrees are out. OR, this could be a good reason for you to start learning Español.
