Some great programs are reasonably priced. One example that HN readers may find interesting is Georgia Tech's online graduate CS program. For roughly $7,000, you can get a CS degree from a top 10 school.

- Avshalom 10y agoThat's for a masters degree though and while 170 per credit hour is quite cheap it would still mean a 21000+ bachelors at that price (just for tuition) which after all is said and done means ~6000 a year. Now for reference 11$/hr (which is actually very good for the sort of entry level retail job your average highschool student is going to get) at 40 hrs/wk (which entry level jobs never actually give you) translates to about 16-17k a year so to pay for school at that price you have to be able to live on 10k a year for all your housing/food/insurance needs. Which is easy in some places and won't even get you half a couch in other places. Also it's damn hard to work 40 hrs a week and attend college because courses are scheduled at near random through out the day and very few employers are that flexible.
