And what has the experience been like with them? I'm really curious since a lot of people go with them and they have some interesting grad programs.
Thanks!
I think it is a mixture. For undergrad degrees I know they have book grants. My Soldiers say they get their books included with their tuition and get them through the mail or are told if they will be ebooks, or free books from their online library.
For the Grad programs, you have to buy the books apart. I'm sure many programs have plenty of ebooks you can use from their online library free, but you will have to pay for others. I know the classes I've taken in history have all had about 4 or 5 books a piece but I usually find them on Amazon for about $3 or $4. Very cheap. Other programs will obviously have more expensive books.
As far as their fees, I am not aware of any other fees like enrollment fees other than Tuition, comprehensive exam and graduation fees, which aren't much. Might have to double check this though.
