    Considering your location you may want to consider IGNOU or UNISA. It's the currency conversion that making the US prices seem high.

    KIZMET is right. Considering the conversion rate, even the cheapest of US Universities will be expensive than a local Univ.
    If you are located in India, you might consider doing a BSc (IT) from IGNOU or any other university. I think there are many DL options in India these days.
    Then you can do a MCA/PGDCA of atleast one year duration. Again, there are too many DL options in India for this.
    Once you are ready to start your studies in USA, you may get this (3Yr BSC + 1Yr PGDCA or 2Yr MCA) evaluated to be the equalent of a 4-Year US degree. You may approach the Big-3 for this.

    Thanks Msganti.But the problem is that maybe in the future I'll move from India to another country.That's why I need a complete online program.About IGNOU and of course as you said lots of other DL education options that are available in India, I'm not sure but I think none of them offer any online computer related degree program!Although they offer Distance Learning programs, I will have to go to a special center for exams and other stuff.

    That's right msganti.But the problem is that I'm not going to stay here.I think soon I'll move to another country.That's why I'm looking for a cheap but accredited fully online university.For studying in a place like IGNOU, I need to stay in India until I finish.

    and that's going to be true with unisa as well. the problem is that you may not be able to have it both ways - - - the relatively inexpensive IGNOU/UNISA degree programs (and all the exam center stuff that comes in those packages) or you can pay what must seem like huge costs for a US program. Have you looked at the Open University (UK)?
