Cheapest self-paced associates degree program?

[rachel83az]

For TESU, which is probably the easiest Associate in Comp Sci to get, the ASNSM is only slightly cheaper than the Bachelor's degree.

If you play it right, the Bachelor's degree would be $4639 for 16 credits at TESU in a single term + about $1000 for credits from TEL/ONU + application & graduation fees.

The Associate's degree would be $4639 for 16 credits at TESU in a single term + application & graduation fees.

The remainder of the credits, from Sophia.org and Study.com, would cost roughly the same for both an Associate's and a Bachelor's.

There is technically UoPeople that would cost less than TESU. But they are (right now) Nationally Accredited and not Regionally Accredited. As Kab pointed out, there are countries that do NOT recognize NA as being legitimate American degrees. UoPeople is also not exactly self-paced so it would probably take you 2 years to get their Associate's degree. In contrast, I think it takes the average TESU student from this board 1-2 years to get their Bachelor's degree.
