@shamin I searched long and hard for self paced tech programs that charge as little as WGU for international students. But havent found anything for tech based degrees yet.
The best I came across if you're into IT is the American Military University momentum program but it assumes you have at least an Associates degree so you would have to do an AA at TESU or COSC and I wont advise that. There is the BOG but since you are international the BOG AAS is out of question unless you are willing to spend for some cheap credits at NMJC (not really cheap though) or TECEPS I think you can use.
Next is capella flexpath. I dont think its worth the cost.
Also AMU and Capella dont really have the best reputation you're looking for....
If you want an IT degree I think right now the fastest and cheapest from a reputable school is the Information Systems Studies at COSC. Between SL, Saylor Academy and Study.com you can complete it.
If you insist on something with networking then Fort Hays State University has a "Information Networking and Communications" degree.
Honeslty in all my searching I have done if you are inrernational and want a US based tech degree you arent getting for under US $8000 - $10 000 right now including all fees and proctoring and testing and everything.
Which is why I think if you want a tech degree right now look at TESU. They are a non-profit state school with actual majors. They have IT, Comp Sci and Electronics and Nuclear under the comprehensive tuition plan it is worth it cause you wont spend less than 8-10k anyway which is still a good price.
Even if you find another school they may not be as generous with transfer credits as TESU.
If you want comp sci you can look at University of the People, it is reputable due to affiliations and as cheap as ypu can get, but the classes are semester based and you can only do like 2-3 at a time.
