Best Bang for Your Buck: A Comparison of Online Undergraduate Tuition Rates

Best Bang for Your Buck: A Comparison of Online Undergraduate Tuition Rates

There are many online programs and institutions in Georgia and across the country, and it is important to adequately compare the benefits of these programs when choosing the right one for your educational pursuits. One of the most important factors for the majority of students is cost.

When evaluating a school for overall cost, there are several things to take into consideration.

Tuition:
Tuition is the base cost for college courses and is usually calculated per credit hour. eMajor prides itself on offering an affordable and competitive low tuition rate of just $199 per credit hour regardless of where you live. Yes, that's for both in-state and out of state students!

Textbooks and Course Materials:
As part of our commitment to affordability, several eMajor courses have now transitioned to Open Educational Resources (OERs) in place of costly textbook requirements, with more courses continually in the process of following suit. eCore courses are now 100% OER!

When comparing online programs, be sure to ask questions about average textbook costs and any additional materials that may be required for successful completion of a course, such as calculators, lab kits, etc.

Student Fees:
Student fees are just what they sound like, additional costs charged to the student by an institution. Most institutions do charge an overall student fee that includes access to both on-campus and online services. Some schools waive most or all fees for students who are enrolled in exclusively online courses. For eCore and eMajor classes, student fees will vary by the home institution.

Transfer Credit:
The amount of transfer credit accepted by an institution can drastically reduce your overall cost. For example, a school that accepts more of your previous credit (or offers more opportunity for CPL) but has a slightly higher tuition rate may be less expensive overall than one with lower tuition but less transfer leniency. To get a better idea of how much of your existing credit is transferable into eMajor programs, consider requesting a free unofficial transfer evaluation prior to submitting an application for admission.

Tracking down all of this information can sometimes be a daunting task, so we've helped you get a jump start with a tuition and fees comparison of eMajor online programs vs. some popular online institutions.

Developing Your Elevator Pitch: USG eCampus Career Focus
