Hi,
I'm looking at doing a Healthcare Information Management degree and it looks like Western Governors University and Charter Oak State College both have online programs. From my back of the envelop calculations show that COSC may be higher cost-wise, but perhaps it's worth it? Does anyone have thoughts on one versus the other?
Thanks!

My son was considering both for HR Management and he's going with WGU - the school seems excellent and he's excited about enrolling soon. I do believe it is less expensive, particularly if you can devote a substantial amount of time to your studies.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management
Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice

It really depends on how quickly you'll get through the degree. If you take 2, 3, 4 terms at WGU - it will certainly be more expensive. Of course, this is assuming that you're going to test out of everything possible before you enroll at either school (ACE-approved courses, CLEP/DSST exams, etc. for all Gen Ed's).
