The beauty of the big 3 is that most of the credit can come from anywhere. You can likely cobble together an affordable plan using English courses from BYU or the University of Idaho. You only need 9, 3 credit courses to fill out a Major....the three credit capstone would bring you to the magical 30 upper level courses you need. You can probably do this at say Charter Oak for around $6000, at TESC and EC for just a little bit more.
Look at all the titles from BYU, 9 courses at $450 or so each your at half the cost of the AMU/APU degree. Depending on the plan you could reduce this further in some instances...the remaining 30 or so hours will be to pick up any Gen eds you might have missed and free electives (those might be completed via FEMA for free):
