Fees are a little higher but only marginally at around $8000 per 120 credits for international students. (A typical degree requires 300-360 credits)
Many degrees can be completed over 7 or more years if it's convenient. But I think there is a minimum time as some coursework is assessed to a schedule.
So there is definitely a market for this type of learning, and competition almost always benefits the customer, so good luck!

Pacing and availability are critical, as is maintaining a very high standard for classes. Right now, OU doesn't meet either requirement. (their SE program, for example, is little more than a few intro to Java classes and some SE theory)
