In 2022 one of my kids wanted to take college classes online over the summer. We created a spreadsheet with the costs for each school, and what was surprising was the range of prices, from $900 per class for MassBay Community College and UC Berkeley, to $7,000 for Babson (a private college near Boston). The state universities were all over the map - UConn and UVM are both big flagship universities but UVM was >2x UConn, and even more than private colleges like Brandeis. We went with UC Berkeley. UVM online $4,800 MassBay $900 Harvard Extension $3,500 Lasell online $1,600 Brandeis $3,290 Babson $7,000 B.C. Woods College $2,200 UConn online $1,800 Berkeley extension $900 Umass Boston $1,500 (in state rate)
