What we are losing sight of is that the OP, was offering info for anyone interested. The appropriate course of action would have been to check it out, perhaps offer similar options also and maybe say thank you for offering solutions after the OP has clearly graduated already and has no personal gain.
Instead we crap all over this guy/gals thread and make a blanket claim that most four year colleges are cheaper, when I actually find that quite rare these days. Trust me, its difficult trying to find schools (besides for profits offering military rates) that offer credit hours for less than $250 these days.
looking at rates of the first three GA universities I looked up I saw the univ of ga is $268 for ug, albany state is aprrox 200 full time, kennesaw state is $448 all of these were resident rates. I stopped there, but the trend seemed to rebut your opinion. Heck, your alma mater was about 1000 for 3 credits.
There may be reasons why someone may want to select this school over, say Clovis or BYU or straighterline or Clep, maybe they have transfer agreements that will run smoother, maybe they like the format etc. Yes there are cheaper options, it may not be the best, we on this forum know that.
Pub, sorry to hijack your thread, thanks for passing info on another option.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
