Cheap classes?

I'm looking for online classes that are cheap (no more than $150) and that have the guidance of a teacher. I found the free ones, but there are not tutors. by the way, I'm a high school student, so I really just want dual credit or some early college stuff.

Try Clovis Community College (NM). 6 semester hours (two-3 semester hour classes) for out-of-state residents costs $211. That comes out to a little over $35/semester hour, fees included.

Clovis Community College is regionally accredited.

LSU Indy Studies has University classes at $249.00 usd a pop. They are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

BYU has Indy Studies also, but they are almost $500.00 usd a class.

Dang, that Clovis CC is cheap, man! They are well over one hundred dollars cheaper than the CC over where I live in Tennessee. Good grief.

Are you looking to earn college credit or do you just want to learn because many schools are now offering their course materials for free online but you don't get credit for the classes

Let me just say that I just registered at Clovis Community Collage and am thrilled to be taking 6 credits of online classes for $222 dollars. (They even offer a payment plan.) BTW I am in New Jersey where my local community college is $99 dollars a credit plus $25 registration and for internet classes there is an extra $50 dollars per semester tech fee. Thank you for the Clovis Community College link!!! -Jonathan

The link above was broken so I just went to Your College Search Solution: Clovis Community College, Clovis, New Mexico directly. I did have to call the admissions office but it took about 3 mins for me to be good to go.

Jon, sorry about the bad link. I'm glad to hear you registered at Clovis CC, and the process went so smoothly.

Please post back about your experiences. Clovis seems like a great deal if taking two classes per semester. Awesome tuition. By the way, Hank Baskett, WR for the Philadelphia Eagles, teaches a sociology class there this semester. He's originally from the Clovis, NM area.

I believe a student can earn an AAS in Criminal Justice completely online through Clovis, although it might take a while if an out-of-state resident would like to take advantage of the low tuition rates.

Have you looked in to your own local community college? In-state tuition is probably not more than $50/per credit hour. That would be your best choice as far as cost. I am enrolled at my local community college and a business major and all of my courses are offered online so that's how I will get through the whole program - online! I love it. I pay $45 per credit hour and usually take 9-12 credit hours per semester.

Cheap classes

there's a site Bid2Learn - Cheap Classes, Courses, Certifications, Training, Bid on Education at Bid2Learn.com, Bid, Save, Learn that I checked after googling 'cheap classes' ...looks like they're the Priceline of IT and other career/job training. They're cutting the prices for courses like PRiceline and Travelocity do through bidding for seats in training rooms. They're using the same trainers like New Horizons and HOTT...also culinary and vocational ...really all job training courses...even colleges. Check them out - I saved over half off on a MCSE class at a New HOrizons in San Fran using them.

I'm looking for the same for my brother. He is graduating from a University of California School. They will let him graduate but he needs a 3 unit course from a university (not a junior college) to do it.

We don't have more than a couple hundred dollars. Does anyone know of anywhere he can take an accredited class for that cheap?
