Like Penn State University, East Carolina University (ECU) has emerged as a leader among traditional schools with online colleges. It too has been voted as a best buy by GetEducated.com and is a respected institution in various fields of study.

If you are looking for quality education with an established reputation at an affordable price, then you should do as the old adage indicates and "go west young man!" One of the quickly emerging leaders in online college offerings is the University of Wyoming. Wyoming offers degrees in several fields including bachelor's and master's degrees in business administration, criminal justice, undergraduate and graduate education, psychology, applied science and nursing. Wyoming even offers an accelerated nursing program for those who have no previous background in the field. One way in which the University of Wyoming sets itself apart from other schools is in its tuition structure. It is one of the few online leaders in distance education that makes no distinction between resident and non-resident students. This means that students outside of the state of Wyoming can pursue their degree without having to pay higher tuition costs than students living within the state. This makes Wyoming an affordable and sensible option for students wanting to benefit from online courses and degrees.
