How much is the tuition in U of Phoenix online college? What about other online colleges?

Answer 1

UoP is accredited by the same regional accreditor that accredits the University of Arizona. While they may not be the best college in the world (and may be close to the worst); whatever anyone says about their accreditation is also being said about UAz and the other colleges (such as WVa) accredited by the North Central Association.

Now, to answer your question:

Other online colleges first: They range from $150 per semester hour to over $650 per semester hour. Louisiana State and Peru State are pretty reasonable at the lower end; Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and George Washington U are at that other end. At $650 per semester hour, a bachelor's degree would cost about $78,000 University of West Florida waives out of state tuition for online students - that makes them about $125 per semester hour. Your state U will probably be the best price available.

UoP tuition is $495 per semester hour plus fees. A bachelor's degree from there will cost about (120 x $495) $59,400; that's WAY more than you can get one for at any number of other places and have a degree with considerably more value based on reputation. Their graduate tuition of $612-692 per semester hour is more than you'd pay at either Harvard or Johns Hopkins.
