UO People is an accredited and tuition free college that offers full degrees and certificates
University of the people is a tuition-free online university for students from all over the world. Learn more about University at the People!
If you're considering doing online college, check to see if they offer your program!
They also offer certificates!
So check it out, and make sure to let other folks know who are interested in these types of programs. At least in the US, it can save tens of thousands of dollars, so it's worth researching!
EDIT: To clarify, their accreditation is national, which will mean you won't be able to transfer credits to regionally accredited intuitions. This is not entirely unusual for online only college, but should be considered. So I will leave this as my parting word, if you are considering an online college that only has national accreditation, please consider this one instead of that one, as this one I will bet money is cheaper.
And here is estimated fees: According to the University of the People, they charge no tuition fees but students must pay some administrative fees to cover course assessments, ranging from $2,460 for an associate’s degree (two years) to $4,860 for a bachelor’s degree (four years). These include processing fees for applications and final exam assessments.
You're viewing a single thread.
UoPeople doesn’t charge for online college courses, course materials, or annual enrollment. Pay our minimal fees as you go, never upfront.
What are these minimal fees, and what are they for? I'm always skeptical of these online learning providers that imply they are free but don't quite say as much.
Per Wikipedia:

These include processing fees for applications and final exam assessments.
The university does not participate in federal financial aid programs, but it does offer scholarships to eligible students
If you click through to their courses they list a fee for assessment. So part of it, at least, is that you can get the course materials for free but if you want them to assess you for a certificate, you pay a fee.
Right? Tuition was a fraction of what I paid every year at a real massive university
ranging from $2,460 for an associate’s degree (two years) to $4,860 for a bachelor’s degree (four years)
I don't wanna talk about how much money I spent on my associates degree, so while it's not free, it certainly is super cheap.
