Not interested in becoming licensed, but I'd love to get my PhD or PsyD- the online programs I've seen are all tremendously expensive, and I'm not interested in brick and mortar programs. Any suggestions?
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice

Hi
Have you looked at https://www.calsouthern.edu/ They are regionally accredited and pretty inexpensive. I was looking at them to take a few courses as electives for my Master of Social Work program. Only downside is they don't do Federal financial aid.

I think there is an entire thread on that question over on the DegreeInfo forum DegreeInfo Distance Learning - online degree forum

online clinical psych PhD = the only such (expensive) APA-sanctioned program, Fielding Grad U

If licensure isn't the goal, then PhD's in either clinical psych in non-APA-accredited programs or in related fields, such as behavioral health, are poss alternatives

Pls post as to what you decide or find out

Being interested in eventual licensure, myself, I'm trying to figure out what I'll do...

APA program accreditation isn't required in every state or every field. industrial/ occupational psychology, in my state, doesn't require it for example. It's best to check your local requirements
