My university was like that, but it was WGU, an online university with low prices. My entire bachelor's degree cost $20k, and could have been lower if I had worked faster (took me 2 years).
I got my accredited BSCS, and did learn some news things along the way (even after 15 years programming professionally), even the "bullshit" classes like project management taught me some ideas that keep popping up in the workplace.
Even though every course was just an app, I spoke with a mentor every week who kept me motivated. I also never had trouble getting in touch with instructors the few times I needed.
If you're getting this treatment from an expensive university, you're paying for the name. Is their name worth paying for? Don't pay brick-and-mortar prices for online-only treatment, unless it's a top 10 school whose name will be widely recognized.
