    I'm looking for low cost science, technology and math courses that can be transferred to a regionally accredited programs (I have TESC in mind)

    Here is the list of courses:

    Physics I
    Physics II
    Probability
    Integral Calculus
    Multivariate Calculus
    Discrete Math
    Linear Algebra
    Algorithms
    C
    C++
    Assembly
    Compiler
    Computer Organization
    Computer Architecture

    I know that I can get physics and calculus through Straighterline, but I'm not sure about the others.

    For the purposes of this experiment, low cost is $4,000 or less.

    Thanks for your assistance.

    I didn't declare before, but I'm looking for online-only options as I need the flexibility to travel or move without discontinuing my studies.

    After some investigation, I have discovered I could get a lot of these courses at a Community College.

    (My Location: San Antonio, TX)

    I see that Central Texas College has these nice rates:
    (this is PER credit-hour)
    Resident In-District $63
    Resident Out-of-District $82
    Nonresident & International $200

    Since I'm in San Antonio, I would be out-of-district, as this college is in Killeen.

    Now, I'm checking if I can find even lower community college rates closer by.

    Alamo Colleges charges $307 for the first three credits, then for each additional credit, the cost increases by $57 or $58 dollars. I guess that one from San Antonio would get as many courses as possible at Alamo, then as many as possible at Central Texas College.

    I hope that this information helps someone else out.

    If you're enrolled at the Alamo Colleges, you can take courses at the in-district rate at other Texas CCs that participate in the Virtual College of Texas.

    I like Central Texas College because almost all of its computer science courses are self-paced, but within 8-16 week terms.
