Rio Salado Community College, Ariz., raises online prices $85 to $250 credit

So the problem isn't finding better prices necessarily - I think most of us can find decent in-state prices for online courses.  It's finding a school with a large online catalog, AND rolling start dates - Rio Salado has both, most schools don't.

Maybe it's because I was only looking for science prerequisites, but Rio Salado never appealed to me. I found the same courses that they were offering at other schools. The Dallas Community College District is cheaper for out-of-state students, even compared to Rio's old cost, and they offer online science courses that Rio doesn't. They don't have rolling start dates, but they have 8-week classes. Expect to pay more at a school with rolling start dates because they're going to need more adjuncts.
