It shouldn't shock anyone that people price-shop courses/credits/degrees. Often people explore the idea of non-US degrees primarily because they're cheaper. Sometimes non-US people are shocked by the costs of US degrees. If I go to UNISA I know that my education is being subsidized by the South African people. Some kids move to Germany because the degrees are free, obviously paid by German taxpayers. In this case ASU has found a way to make it work, not just for the students but also for themselves. Here's a little article about the ASU system. It's not specifically about costs but more their overall philosophy.
