Is 30000$ too much for associate degree?

Question

it's private university and you get your degree for about 15 months,they say its accredited,but i have no idea what to do,and because its in alaska some people told me that they dont really look good on it in the states.it's called charter college,has anyone heard of it?any opinion would be helpful,thanks alot

Answer 1

This is a bit high.  What school are you looking at?  Does it have national or regional accreditation?  If it's only national then you should run away from it.

If it is a school with regional and it's a program you are passionate about then possibly not.

Answer 2

$30,000?! Are you kidding me?! I would have walked right out! Yes, that's way too much for a 2 year degree. You can get an associates degree for much less and then go on to a 4 year to get your bachelors. You'll probably want that in order to get a better job anyway.

Answer 3

Yes.  Most community colleges are less than 1,500 a semester.  Thats 3,000 a year for two years.  Total of 6,000!!

Answer 4

Depends on where your going. If your going to a community college it will cost lest then a University.

Answer 5

Usually an Associate Degree is much, much cheaper than a Bachelor's. And unless you are going to some super fancy two year college, and into a professional program I would say yes, 30 grand is way too much.

For 15 grand a semester, they better give you free food and books! Plus a lot more!

The two year school in my area is a little less than 4 grand a semester for full time students. So total cost for an Associate Degree where I live is about 16,000.00$$.
