Thompson Rivers U - Undergrad Upper Level Courses - bjcheung77 - 04-18-2020
Athabasca University is in Alberta Canada and they are Regionally Accredited, they're one of 4 schools in Canada that have gotten Regional Accreditation. The other three are Capilano, Simon Fraser, and Thompson Rivers University, all 3 are in the province of BC...
Anyways, Thompson Rivers have UL courses going at $389.11/credit CDN which is $277.85/credit USD. At this exchange rate, the courses will be comparable to one of the cheaper state universities for upper-level credit such as Fort Hays or Lamar. The tuition webpage is here: https://www.tru.ca/distance/services/tuition.html
The only use for this is, if there are undergraduate courses that can't be found elsewhere, such as UL Biology courses or whatever, this may be an alternative option...

I think you missed some fees:
Course Administration and Other Fees
Course administration: OL: $96.97 per course
Technology: $6.41 per credit
Lab: Variable (see specific course)
So a 3cr course looks to be closer to $916/cr (converted rate). I think you could find cheaper ones in the US.

The 30 weeks is due to some of the courses being self-paced - so I'm sure that's the maximum length of time you have to complete the courses. I looked at a course that was NOT self-paced, and it was 16 weeks long.
