Crystal Asked About 'An Education Online Is A Fast And Easy Way To Get A Degree'

Why are online education programs so expensive?

Why are online education programs so expensive? I started looking into one since the community college where I live doesn't offer the courses I want - but it's so much more pricey! Shouldn't it be less since there is no "campus" to take care of?

Hi Crystal,

Online education is not always so expensive.  In fact, there is a consumer group, GetEducated.com, that publishes objective cost rankings of online education and degree programs.

You can review these online college affordability rankings free and use them to see what the average cost of an online degree in your subject area is and then which schools rate as the Best (and worst!) Buys.

Two tips: 1) Look for public non-profit colleges that offer the degree you want. Private, for-profits (which you see advertising online a lot!) cost 3 to 5 times more and also tend to have lower graduation rates; 2) there are more than 12,000 online degrees now from accredited colleges in the USA. Try the Distance Degree Genie comparison tool to compare all your options on cost as well as student satisfation and public reputation before you enroll.

Really, you can save a lot by comparing costs and reputation before you enroll. For example, an online business bachelors degree can cost anywhere from $10,000 to over $100,000.  So take the time to explore options. Cost is one thing you can control in selecting your online education.

Not all online education programs are expensive. Some price are reasonable since you don't need to go personally in a school or university. What you only need is a computer plus an internet connection. This will save you time and money in travel as well.

e learning courses or online education can be pricey depending on the course package or what credits are included on that course. You may search for more cheaper courses and it will all depend on their course format and availability.

They are expensive because they are not ordinary courses. However, there are cheap online colleges that offer the same quality of education.

I think it depends on the school where the online education program is offered, there are some who are not that expensive.

It depends on the schools' courses, additional fees and policies. Because you don't have to go to school, allowances may go to your school programs.And I guess, there are still cheap online schools. Maybe you can try online christian education.
