If you have to take traditional course, where is cheapest?

[bjcheung77]

For those of us who can't swing some of the testing/alternative credits, what are the cheapest online 2 year and 4 year colleges?

I'm wondering if my best path might be to do what alternatives I can, take traditional classes at a cheap college, and then transfer everything to the big 3 toward the end of the degree.

If it matters, I am an active duty military spouse, and I currently live in New York.

Check your state to find out if they have community colleges that have cheaper tuition than the regular 4 year college or university schools.

Many people transfer from community college into the universities with their first and second year done, taking their final two years at Uni.

Aside from community college, your other options for cheap are the AP/IB testing, ACE/NCCRS or CLEP/DSST, (and of course language exams).
