Cheap college credit
#1
Hello fellow cleppers

I was wondering if anyone can guide me to some cheap per hour online college credit classes. I want to actually take college math and principles of financial accounting rather than clepping out to get my basic roots strong for business school. I know penn foster is around $60 a credit. I am in MI and the LEAST expensive community college near me is $100/credit. But I have to wait till January for classes to start for winter semester.

I checked out Central Texas College. It is $36 in distrit $46 out of district and
$200 out of state:eek:

I would really appreciate any input.

Well, unless a letter grade is important to you (maybe DSST if your school gives As for it), you could always learn the subject to the level you feel you need to then just take the CLEP. Hard to beat the price of CLEP.
CLEP Principles of Management 77
CLEP Intro to Sociology 74
CLEP Principles of Marketing 78
CLEP Information Systems and Computer Applications 75
CLEP Intro to Psychology 80
CLEP Intro Business Law 72
CLEP Principles of Macroeconomics 73
CLEP A & I Lit 75
CLEP Principles of Microeconomics 72
CLEP Financial Accounting 62
DSST Ethics in America 468
DSST MIS 482
CLEP Natural Science 72
DSST Org Behavior 80

Cheapest RA courses? - Distance Learning Discussion Forums

it goes a little off track in the middle, but there's some good ideas in there. The cheapest mentioned is San Juan College, at $40 per credit hour even for out of state residents. Here's the Tuition page. It also appears that if you take more than 12 hours a semester, those above the 12 are free.

You can also consider using ALEKS ALEKS -- Assessment and Learning, K-12, Higher Education, Automated Tutor, Math You pay $20 per month, and you will have to master the concepts very well before you can "graduate" from the program. It's self-paced, so if it takes you 1 month, then you earned 3 credits for $20, but if it takes you a year, then you had plenty of time to learn at your own speed. If you search this forum, you'll find a nice long thread talking about ALEKS.
