Computer Science degree online with lowest tuition?

I have been checking out different colleges that offer a computer science degree online and so far the one with the lowest tuition I have found is Old Dominion University. I know Baker College has a lower per credit rate but they require 190 credits since they are on quarters. Are there any other schools with a lower tuition rate than ODU for computer science. I am aware of some cheaper for IT or CIS degrees, but I am pretty sure CS is the only one i would be interested in taking.

 

I assume you're looking for undergraduate degree. Have you checked out:

University of Illinois at Springfield's Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Troy University's Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Science?

 

My numbers are approximate and assume no transfer or test credit

Univ. Illinois-Springfield - BS Computer Science
120 hours x $352 per hour = $42,300 (online rate)
Department of Computer Science

Thomas Edison State College - BA Computer Science
120 hours x $231 per hour (in-state) = $28,000
120 hours x $331 per hour (out-state) = $40,000
Thomas Edison State College: Computer Science

Old Dominion - BS Computer Science
120 hours x $285 per hour (in-state) = $34,200
120 hours x $807 per hour (out-state) = $96,840
Computer Science


I did my BA Computer Science at Thomas Edison for under $13,000. They take the most test/transfer credits and I did a lot of test credits from a lot of places (CLEP, DSST, Aleks, Straighterline, FEMA).

 

Since you must be in Virginia, you can always go to a community college and then transfer to biggerbucks U. As an example, Northern Virginia Community College offers an associates in CS for around 9K @ $153.25 per hour. That way, your degree will cost $26,295 if you transfer to ODU.

 

If you complete 30-36 credits per year under the Comprehensive Tuition Plan, TESC is a total of $33,580 for non-residents. The annual charge is $8395. The Enrolled Options Plan is for those taking less than 24 credits per year in TESC courses. People who choose that option usually have a lot of transfer credits and/or are completing credits through alternative means (CLEP, ALEKS, Straighterline, etc.). This would make the degree even cheaper. Under this option, you pay an annual enrollment fee of $3,062 and $229 per credit hour. If you plan well, you should only have to pay the enrollment fee for one year.
