How much does it cost, exactly, to get a 2-year degree online?

I am looking to go back to college online for an Associates degree in business administration/human resources management. There are thousands of resources on the Internet and I am finding it daunting trying to figure out how MUCH each online program costs. I am hopeful someone reading this will know of a succinct resource that breaks this humongous list down by pricing.

The cost depends on the school. A local community college will probably be the most reasonable, then in-state universities. For-profit schools like the University of Phoenix will usually be the most espensive. You also want to look at how much the degree will be respected in the work world if that's why you want to attend. Of the three types of schools listed above, the university would probably be the most respected, then the community college, then the U of Pnx. Schools generally charge by the credit hour, often plus some kind of fee each term. A community college might be under $100 a credit hour for residents, a state university might be a couple hundred or more for residents, and the for-profit schools might be $400 to $500 or more. Most legitimate schools will have cost info on their websites. Getting an associates degree will probably involve taking about 56 credit hours.

The cost depends on the institution. For instance, when I earned my degree online, I was charged $300/credit. Well, if my course was 36 credits, the cost of my degree was $10,800. The school you choose should be able to tell you the cost of the program you want to attend. Best wishes...

I am an in-state student at a technical school that offers associate's degrees. I am a full time student, and I pay about $475 per quarter, plus the cost of books. Books can range from under $40 to upwards of $200 per quarter. Out-of-state students pay more for tuition. So basically I'm paying at least $2000 per year, and if you go full-time for two years, then it's around $4,000 plus the cost of the books for the courses. Hope that helps you! Good luck!

Has anyone completed the Paralegal Associates Degree Program from SBBC?

I am currently in the process of enrollment for the online program. I am having second thoughts about the credibility of the school and my degree. Will any law firm take me seriously? I cannot seem to find any feedback from former students who have taken this program. (Other than what the school's website has published.) I am a mother of three so the online aspect is very appealing, however, I don't want to waste my time, and more importantly, my money. Any suggestions?

Is it a totally online program? If it is, it is not ABA-approved. They do not approve online programs. I am entering a paralegal program this Fall. I have done a lot of research. Almost everything I read mentions that employers want an approved school. Even if you get hired by one that does not, if you want to move on, you may find employers that want the approval, so you are limiting your options. There are quite a few programs near me, but few that are approved. The one I chose is at my local community college. I have a BA, so I need to take 30 credits and do an internship. They also have an Associates for those without a BA, which is about 66 credits. My cost will be under 5,000 and that includes books. It will take me 2 years going part-time. I had found another school that was charging 14,000 and was not approved. It takes a year. This is an actual university and for people with BAs. The cost scared me, but the fact there was no approval led me to decide on the other school. So, it really can vary with costs and structure. I would not take one that is not approved. And I am not certain how law firms would feel about an online school. I will tell you what else I have found-they want experience above all else, so when you get out of school, you will have to start in an entry-level job. I think having an online degree will make it even harder, because you have had no contact. I will be working with several attorneys as my professors and I will have the internship. I would be very careful. Check out the schools near you. I am going at night. Good luck!
