Imo it depends on your age, and where in your career you're at right now.
if i was in my early 20s and my career is still undefined, i would probably look into Northwestern or Penn for 1 of their online undergraduate degrees. Both allow you to transfer in half the credits, so completing a degree would still cost 45k. If you qualify for pell grant for 2 years, you might be able to lower that fee to 35k (of course this means spending the next 5-10 years to pay it off) I would focus on a STEM area to maximize my earning potential (eg, Data Analytics or maybe Information Management). Alternatively, you can probably consider 1 of the big state schools, eg, Arizona State, University of Florida (they really cheap for instate, like $125/credit hour).
If I was established in my career, in my 30s, and getting some company reimbursement, and I just need a degree for promotion, UMPI or NAU with their cb programs is prob the way to go.
