State schools vs. other options

[ss20ts]

It breaks my heart when people go for these for-profit private institutions instead of considering online state schools. There are so many other options for you. University of the People, WGU, Capella and many more are low quality institutions. As someone who was looking for an affordable online degree program with required accreditation and reputation, I came across many state schools who accomplished these three needs.

I am not sure what state you reside in but I work look into the online degree programs at your local public colleges.

U of the P and WGU are not for profit. 

Many state schools do not accept ACE credit. Many state school are also expensive compared to WGU and UMPI. In my state the fees are almost as much as the tuition on some campuses. I just looked at one of my state schools and it's almost $4500 for a full time semester. Another state school is over $4500 per semester. You're locked into a semester based program and 12-18 credits as well. There's also VERY limited options with many state school's online offerings. Their programs are also designed to be completed over 4 years.
