The cheapest online IT Bachelor's degree?

Hello!


Some might already know that ENEB offers a Master (titulo propio) in Big Data / Business Intelligence for approx. $250. I am currently doing it - it is good programme, but well, it contains not *that* much IT as you might think. However, it might be something one can be interested in!


Best regards,

Data Science master's degree has bright future if you want to work at finance companies like Ernst & Young.

But is upgrad a credible company?

 

Yes, I am doing it. I take the MBA and Master in BDBI. I don't know if it will help my chance for PhD.

 

Carnegie Mellon University has the most expensive online IT Master's degree program I've ever seen:

https://www.cmu.edu/sfs/tuition/graduate/hc-ism.html
https://www.heinz.cmu.edu/programs/information-technology-master/bida

It costs over $110,000 USD.

 

If I become a millionaire with my online IT bachelor's degree, I'll pay for that $120k Carnegie Mellon Online IT master's

 

Or you can do the PhD for free (if you accepted for research/teaching assistant or kind of fellow)

 

I believe Excelsior College and Thomas Edison University recognize IT certifications for University credit. I used my certifications for Microsoft and Cisco and got close to 30 credits from Excelsior. Then you can use cheap credits from schools like Pennfoster or study.com. My degree cost me around 2 K.

 

Really? 2k only in total? How many credits did you manage to transfer?

 

All the credits but just one class at Excelsior that cost around 1000 bucks plus graduation fees. You can test language skills and get some credit for that plus a bunch of Pennfoster classes.
There other option is top up degrees in IT from UK Universities that would allow people with a British Computer Society Diploma level 6.

I know the University of Southern Queensland in Australia takes these diplomas and other schools do also as well. You can probably get your BSc in IT for less than 10K.

IT is tricky because employers really care more about experience and certifications so if you get a distance BS in IT with no experience, it is not an easy sell for an employer so be careful.

 

That's right. So I created a thread about IT certification exams:

Middlesex University of London has online IT top-up degree for only 5k British pounds:

How can I get the HND in computer science??? is there any exam that I can test out for it?

 

Hello!


These level 5 Diplomas we were talking about earlier should be equivalent to the HND! Please check this with the Middlesex University, but it should!!

Thanks, I found online level 5 diploma for only 999 pounds.

https://www.reed.co.uk/courses/diploma-in-computing-level-5/98849#/courses/?keywords=level%205%20diploma%20computer

But I'm not sure how they award this to you. It says duration is about 9 months...

 

This one takes only 6 months!
https://www.reed.co.uk/courses/computing-diploma-level-5--credit-120-accelerated-mode/187215#/courses/?keywords=level 5 diploma computer&pageno=2

And it's fully online! I can try to test it out faster than 6 months I think?
I'll ask them about it.

 

another 6 month level 5 program:

Why don't just do this instead
https://www.learnuni.com/course.aspx?CourseTitle=BSc+(Hons)+Computer+Science+(Information+Systems)+-+18+months

Actually, I have considered this for a long time. I don't need a bachelor because I already have a bachelor.

But, I wanted to know if the grade of the course is listed in the transcript?

The level 5 diploma is very affordable.

And I also have another consideration. If I wanted to do a PhD in the US, isn't it better to just take a grad certificate in US uni?

 

University of Portsmouth top up degree costs only 2k British pounds per year!

https://www.port.ac.uk/study/courses/bsc-hons-computing-and-information-systems-distance-learning-top-up#entry-requirements

You can apply to this program after getting that 1k pound level 5 diploma

This is much cheaper option! this school ranks top 500 in the world.
