    Been in college since 2007, on and off. I've done both in-classroom/on-campus and online/virtual. I'm working now but I want to finish and get my degree so I would prefer a program that is really flexible, self-paced, and really affordable.

    Ashworth's program was very interesting because it was really cheap and they let you study even if you have not made your full payment. Problem is....they are SUPER SLOW in communicating with you. Others have complained as well.

    I live in the Philippines (American/Philippine citizenship) and working for companies abroad virtually. My pay is very low but good enough to live a good life so I can't afford a luxurious college education. I just want an education that is good quality but also affordable and the staff communicates well. I don't want to worry too much about how "prestige" a degree is. The career I want to have won't rely on how luxurious my degree is, rather it will focus more on experience. But I would love to have a degree under my belt and finish what I originally started.

    Colleges I found on google that were self-paced were:

    - Ashworth College
    - UTexas (University Extension)
    - Capella (Flexpath)
    - UNC-Chapel Hill Friday Center (fridaycenter.unc.edu)
    - Illinois OCE (oce.illinois.edu)
    - Mizzou Online (online.missouri.edu)
    - Weber State University Online (wsuonline.weber.edu)
    - NAU Online (nau.edu/nau-online)
    - Upper Iowa University

    Now the question is....which college offers the lowest tuition rates and best faculty? Ashworth goes as low as $66/credit and up to $1,290/month. I want to get my bachelors degree in marketing.
