What option should I take for an online university/college?
by Author on Thursday, May 20th, 2010 | 2 Comments
I want to receive my bachelor's in business online. I've checked out several online universities and colleges. Some schools tuition includes your books and materials. And some schools offer different prices for different courses i.e., general courses or according to the level of the class. I want to attend a school that includes books and materials in the tuition but, the cost per credit from other schools are lower and I have to buy my books. What should I do? And what are other schools that offer financial aid and books and material are included in the tuition?

Most schools that include books in the cost of tuition are more expensive (for obvious reasons). I think you will probably save more in the long-run by attending a school with reasonable tuition and buying your books used, or buying the eBook version (which is usually half of the cost of a new book).
I attended Columbia College and majored in Business. Their tuition is $210 per credit hour, which is about what I would be paying at the local college in my area. Books were about $65 per course when I purchased used or eBooks (which was most of the time). So, that is about $275 per course including tuition and books.
I did a review of this school on my blog if you have time to check it out: http://www.online-school-reviews.net/index.php/columbia-college-online-missouri/
The cost to go online is about the same as offline minus gass. Be sure to check their accredidation and the background of the professors.
