Current tuition is "Tuition is currently $182 for 2 credit courses and $273 for 3 credit courses, plus a $20 technology fee per semester."
That's under $100 per credit for grad credit. As far as I know, that is the cheapest in the US. The next cheapest is APUS. The thing is, they don't offer a degree- so you would have to apply the credit to a grad school that accepts transfer credit, and in the right area. Sadly, only a handful of people will actually be able to really exploit this program. I think it is mostly used by teachers for the masters +30 salary grade increase. Those 30 credits don't have to be inside a degree, they can be random.
The prefix is EDU, so they are clearly classified under the dept "Education."
Whoever asked about undergrad- EDU credits are classified at TESC as free electives. TESC might take these into a master program, they have a generous master transfer policy- 12 credits I believe...but don't quote me. And really, it would only be the Master of Liberal Arts, because the Master in Ed requires that you be be a teacher first.
*edit- I found 2 of the classes on the list under "Science" that have Natural Science pre-fixes rather than education! THAT is worth investigation!! That might be open for 6 grad level science credits! (which would surely be countable as undergrad, at least at TESC)
Actually, CMU charges $265.00 a credit hr at McGuire AFB, NJ and I think at all the military bases. Considering they have 5 week classes and 8 week online, that's not bad also. Just a moot point, but one that may interest some.
