Ashworth is the cheapest when transferring Sophia courses, you should only have to do one semester there.
Ashworth College - $1299-$1399 Associate Degrees + Sophia

You mentioned that your son is still in high school right? A lot of States nowadays offer students to attend local state and community colleges for free while in high school. Meaning if your son’s school has a dual enrollment program in place he can attend college for free, maybe. Check and see if your son’s high school and school district has a dual enrollment program. https://www.nj.gov/education/cte/dualenrollment/

Exactly what I would do, as I mentioned the freebie Associates in post #7, I also mentioned dual enrollment in post #13 and #21... For what it is worth, I would not just look for "cheapest only" as that may not benefit the student the most, an example would be, if getting a free course or two doesn't set him up for his Associates or Bachelors later. I always look at the trifecta of certs, degree, experience along with the other trifecta of cheap, easy, fast.
