Thank you for this questionile.... I performed all of my assignments with English United Kingdom in the spell checker.......
Fun response!  I will check out the UK.

For the UK/EU (All have excellent reputation):
Expensive:
- University of Cumbria (cumbria.ac.uk): solid curriculum
- Northumbria University Newcastle (http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/study-at-northumbria/)

Not-as-expensive:
- Wrexham University (https://online.wrexham.ac.uk/online-programmes/): Keeps rising to the top, excellent pricing, curriculum maybe a bit light though, but I can always learn more later and get the credential now kind of thing. I read classes are ASYNC and best tuition on my list... Used to be called "Glyndwr university which shows up in databases here and there)
- University of Aberdeen (https://on.abdn.ac.uk/degrees/): Yep like I went to Robert Gordon University located in the same city and met the UAber reps in person, seems solid curriculum, pricing is a bit upmarket but still viable. Interesting options such as Data Science and Geographical Information Systems. Even has "taster" courses which you can try out without fully comitting to the program (full tuition price, but for credit and interesting).
- Abertay (https://online.abertay.ac.uk/programmes/)
- Arden (Germany/EU, https://arden.ac.uk/our-courses/qualification/masters)
- Wolverhampton (https://online.wlv.ac.uk/online-courses/)
- Hertfordshire (https://online.herts.ac.uk/fees-and-funding) getting up there $$$ wise though
- Edinburgh Napier University (https://www.napier.ac.uk/courses?mode-fr...ing&ps=100): Maybe yes, maybe no...
- University of Sunderland (https://online.sunderland.ac.uk/online-courses/)
- Keele University (https://online.keele.ac.uk/online-programmes/)

Canadian Universities (Always and forever expensive to infinity):
- Memorial University of Newfoundland (https://www.mun.ca/): Curriculum and academics always strong at MUN, cheapest university in Canada, and still expensive
- University of Fredrichton (https://www.ufred.ca/): Not bad for MBA, know a friend who went through the "global leadership" stream. UFred seems receptive to transfer credit and is recognised by Canadian student funding agency. A lot of synchronous+group work though. Time intensive.

United States Universities:
- Purdue Global ("PUG"): Not cheap, but the Purdue brand name, ooof that's nice. A favourite here on the forum and I can see why. After chatting with Success Advisor I have to get my Canadian credentials reviewed and etcetra, but maybe yes, maybe no. Strong curriculum, concentrations are excellent, but cannot stack them in a credential/graduate with multiple concentrations, but can take courses which are free-range/"open electives."
A lot of things feel right about this university, they accept Canadian students, but I found out today that because I don't have a bachelor's degree (skipped went into master's) I cannot be accepted into an MSc, but would be accepted into a BSc, and they can approve up to 75% of transfer credits for a 4-year degree, so mix in what I already can transfer in, do the rest using the DegreeForum planning (Sophia/Study.com/meow) and go from there, so that would leave a 1-year comitment to a bachelor's. Hard choice, but at least it would be an unstoppable bachelor's degree. The one thing I'm not overly keen on is these are syncronous courses in the evening. I really do like async courses so I don't have to attend classes when they want me to, I can attend when I am able.

Anyway this is the shortform, but a lot of things vary such as curriculum (not always a bad thing as noted above), pricing, feelings, instructions methods, etc.

Purdue Global has little to do with the actual Purdue University. They are not the same thing.

The UK schools are fine, but I would equate them to lower-level state schools like UMPI. Cost can be crazy for international students.
