Upper Level Correspondence/ Independent Study Courses
#1
Below is a small list of state universities that offer self paced correspondence courses. Many are upper level. The prices vary greatly from cheap to expensive.

The cheapest I saw was University of Wyoming with $119 per SH.

For some, Straighterline will do, but this may be of use to someone who wants upper level credit or wants letter grades for grad school.

PrLoko-isms
Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Great List! May I add the following:

Schedule of Courses > Division of Extended Studies > Colorado State University-Pueblo $165/credit. I actually completed 5 courses here on the way to my BS, hands down the best customer service ever!
https://www.uidaho.edu/academic-affairs/...dy/courses also around $160/credit
https://online.uark.edu/self-paced/courses.php Not sure what these are running currently cost wise, probably competitive with the above.
LSU Continuing Education Under $200/credit
MBA, Western Governors University February 2014
BS Charter Oak State College November 2011
AS in EMS August 2010

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

First place I've seen where you can take Norwegian as a foreign language!! More courses are available as semester-based, but they're also more expensive.
