Cheap, Competency-Based Program at South Texas College
#1
South Texas College is, technically, a community college that offers bachelors degree programs. They offer a competency-based bachelors degree program in organizational leadership that costs $750 per 7-week term. That amounts to $4,500 per year. That's a little more expensive than Patten's regular price, but it has the appeal of being a public school.

Outside of their Organizational Leadership program, their regular tuition for out-of-state residents is a relatively reasonable $200 per credit hour and they seem to offer some courses that may fill holes for some degree requirements. The problem is whether any of the courses will transfer as upper level credits. Although they offer a few Bachelor's degrees, I'm guessing that they'll still be considered a community college.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe TESU distinguishes between 2-year colleges and 4-year colleges rather than community/junior/technical colleges vs. everything else. Excelsior and COSC usually go by the evaluation of the original source. If it was UL at the original school, then it will likely transfer as UL to them.

South Texas College has an impressive selection of online courses. They aren't all that attractive for LL credits if you're out of state, but $600 plus fees isn't bad for hard to find UL credits.
