Where can I find an inexpensive "data structures and algorithms" course?

I need to take one course on "data structures and algorithms". I can take it from any school, but it must be regionally accredited and I am looking for the lowest price possible. Do you know of a school which offers such a course?

 

you need to have the cert or you just need the knowledge? you can use MIT Open Courseware (free) to learn, but they don't provide a cert.

 

Try Foothill College...it's a California CC and they offer both a Java and C++ class online, which would probably qualify for Data Structures & Algorithms, though every school is different so you may want to check with where you're transferring credit: Foothill College Home

I don't know what out-of-state tuition is, but for CA residents the class is only $100 or so.

Description:
Introduces the discipline of computer science using the C++ language; provides an overview of computer organization and an introduction to software engineering. Topics include methodologies for program design, development, style, testing and documentation, and object oriented design; algorithms, control structures, sub-programs, elementary data structures.
Four hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (96 hours total per quarter.)

 

An update from 2018: the information about Foothills College is still valuable. $31/unit for in-state tuition, and people who spent 3+ years in a CA high school and graduated from a CA high school qualify for in-state tuition even if they live elsewhere now. I plan to take Data Structures & Algorithms online from Charleston, SC. I'll spend $139.50 + textbook instead of $1,575 + textbook at College of Charleston. What, exactly, will I do with the $1,435.50 that I save??
