I didn't look up costs, but where there is one school there will likely be others. The key being they offer these online.
EDIT: Other CCs that offer them Online - (no doubt there are more)
New River CC (VA) https://www.nr.edu
Quinsigamond Community College (MA) https://www.qcc.edu/
Those are great resources - I went searching for similar info and was less successful than you were. For others who might follow this thread in the future, the cost for those schools is around $400 per credit hour for out-of-state students but their prices are much better for in-state tuition. If you happen to be a resident of Massachusetts who is >25 (with no prior degrees), Quinsigamond might even have some financial aid for you!
Berklee also has many options for online music history and other courses, and each course is around $1550 (so a little more than $500 a credit.) Their classes are pricey but they look very interesting (to me). https://online.berklee.edu/
I have not found a Louisiana school with online options for Music. Louisiana Universities are also priced higher than the options we've discussed here. However, the local CC appears to have in-person Music History classes for around $200 a credit. The rub is that I'd have to attend in person, but I'm looking into it.
Since the music degree is not necessary for my current career path, I'm not sure I want to spend $2-3K on two online music history classes. It may be more beneficial for me to spend that money on business classes or certifications (or both). I'm still going to have a degree evaluation done by TESU. Maybe the results will surprise me.
You all have given me a lot to think about so far, and I'm so appreciative. I already see options I didn't see before my post yesterday.
