Nomaduser and I went through this on the other forum. My first suggestions were Clovis, Rio Salado and maybe some other college in the Maricopa system. Boy, was I surprised! I can remember these schools charging under $100 per credit, out-of-state. They're $300 or close, nowadays.

I just checked New Mexico Junior College - pretty darn good. $89 per credit, so a 3-credit course would cost $307 including a $40 online course fee. Thanks for the recommendation! The best I could find when Nomaduser posted, was Pratt Community College in Kansas, with an out-of-state tab of $128 per credit, tuition and other fees included.

Wow, that out-of-state thing is really a buzz-killer! They should call it 'out of this world' when it comes to pricing. Anybody have any more suggestions?

Should be mostly accurate. I've gone through and revised most of the fees recently. Let me know if you find anything wildly incorrect.

Wow! that's so cool. Thanks a lot.

Luna Community College - $38/credit for out-of-state residents for 6 credits per semester. Lower-level courses only.

Luna Community College has the best deal!

Oh, and in case you didn't already know, ASU has one last Earned Admissions session that will be $99 total. This starts on the 18th and is normally $400 for 3 or 4 credits. $400 is already pretty good, compared to most current prices, but $99 is even better! I've taken four of their classes so far and am happy with the results.

Yes, I've already enrolled at ASU Earned Admissions.   Cool

I stand corrected on something I wrote here - or to nomaduser on another forum. I said something like fees plus tuition at Clovis Community College were about $300 per credit. They're not. It turns out I was looking at the wrong page. They're $111 per credit plus about $80 per course in fees. So a 3-credit course is about $400 - much more reasonable. Thanks to rachel83az for setting me straight. Smile

There is a Clovis CC in CA and NM - the one we talk of here is the NM CC  https://www.clovis.edu  
I took two courses through them, so I can personally recommend them. Especially if you need a LL Science w/lab

Washtenaw Community College in Michigan charges $123 per credit hour for out-of-state students and $124 per credit hour for international students. That must have been an interesting meeting when they decided to charge one dollar more. Note that there is a $10 per credit hour technology fee.
