Full Degree under $6,000 a year/Associate Degree under $1,500 a year. A good deal?

That's for tuition. And it's not per semester, it's per academic year, both semesters. And at both the uni and the cc the tuition price includes upto 36 credits a year. At the uni the price includes tuition and fees. Prices at both the uni and the cc are for Non-Resident/International.

The University is MSU, Minot State University in North Dakota. Here are the various full degree programmes they have, the also have some Masters programmes and Certificate programmes. Fantastic price for international students.

Then there's NMJC, New Mexico Junior College, and they have an online programme "Criminal Justice and Paralegal", prices are here Now I think under $1,500 a year is a pretty ok price. That doesn't include some extra fees that would come to a few hundred.

I think Minot is a good, public, state school. I have never attended, but people seem to like it. I am considering it for a possible masters.

There are cheaper ways to get a regionally accredited degree. Four years at Minot is $24,000. Minot will take up to 60 credits from CLEP, AP, DSST and ACE. You could spend $2-4,000 and transfer 60 credits to Minot, then do the last two years for $12000 and your degree will be the same as if you spent $24,000 for all 4 years there. You can also get a regionally accredited degree for under $10,000 at several other schools.


Do you want the cheapest degree with regional accreditation?
Do you want a degree from a state school or private or doesn't matter?
Do you have any professional certifications? IT? Law enforcement? etc
Do you plan to pursue CLEP, DSST, Aleks, Straighterline, etc? (cheaper way)


Based on what I have learned and experienced in the last year by pursuing my BS in Computer Science, I would recommend a student test out of as much as possible and NEVER attend 4 years at a college or university. CLEP and DSST are accepted at almost every school. It cost me $20 per month for a study guide and I passed 15 CLEP/DSST exams for 48 credits (1.5 years of college for $1600). Aleks and Straighterline are less accepted but still many schools take ACE credit. I have 30 credits of Aleks/Straighterline (~1 year for $900). I just took three Microsoft exams for $450 that gave me 4 upper level credits ($112 per credit). So for a total of $3,000 I have 3 years of college credit done at my own pace.
