The Open University - Liberal Arts degree (only £6,192 GBP! fully online)

[ss20ts]

It’s a neat option and may be a good fit for some people. That said, this way of working an Open degree means you are still earning 1/3 of a degree directly from the degree-granting university in a traditional, albeit online way.  

Most US bachelor’s degrees are 120-128 semester hours. There are plenty of universities in the US that will let you transfer in 80 hours (or more) and complete the last 40 (or less) with them.

I also suspect many American employers might look down on an applicant with a foreign, online degree from something called “the Open University”, never mind the quality of instruction.

Curious as to how they are RA since they are a foreign university without a physical presence in the US.

Open University has been around forever, is highly respected, and is the largest university in the UK. It's also regionally accredited in the US. 

And not for nothing, but it sounds a whole lot better than "University of the People" on one's résumé. Might as well just say you graduated from The School of Hard Knocks.

University of the People is NA and totally sounds like a fictitious college on Law & Order or some other tv show. It doesn't sound like a real place at all. I would be curious as to how employers react when they see someone graduated from U of the P. Seems like they'd be laughing and joking around with their colleagues about it.
