It always surprises me that the Big 3 never make it onto these lists. In any case, here's a list of what are allegedly the most affordable Bachelors degrees. It's not a flawless list but might be a good place for someone to start their search

These lists are the "most affordable" if you are only getting your learning from those particular schools. The big 3 aren't especially cheap if all you are comparing is the straight cost of tuition + fees.

This is specific to "Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) programs," which seems to be a certificate program and not a bachelor's degree vary from cetificates to masters degrees, all lumped together.

Sorry - I wrote at first that they didn't include fees. But they did. I clicked through. Master's degree seems to be the basic requirement and all I saw were Master's of various types (MA M.Ed. etc) and Post-Master's Grad certificates for added certifications - no clear division. The first one I looked at (at or near the top ) was a Master's program at $575 per credit. Doesn't sound especially inexpensive to me. Then I looked further down and saw one for $199 per credit.
I think they have work to do in the way they present info. The minute categorizations (best in N,W, S.E, Good values, best Christian schools etc.) can throw someone off if they're trying to stick to cost. Perhaps they might consider publishing the chart AND a separate ranking divided into cert and degree - and reported in cost order for each, with the actual costs.
