I think your choice really depends on what type of degree you're looking for, and what program best fits your schedule. Online colleges vary widely, based on a number of factors. For example, one school that excels in one particular program may not as good for another. In addition, some schools offer more flexible schedules, while others may have different test requirements. Doing a bit of focused research can give you a better sense of what is right for you :) 

For example, my my friend is currently enrolled in this degree program, and seems to do pretty well in it. I'm not sure whether its the cheapest or best one around, but because it fits so well for him, the value cannot be argued.

I recieved my Masters in Informations systems from Phoenix online. It was comparable in price, but the things I looked for were the lesson delivery, the fact that weekly attendance was a requirement, They would call if you didn't show up and post in class. And most important it was acceptable by my state department of education as credible.

cost was not the top priority, but it was an important  one.

I checked out an online college in a neighboring state and they charge 10,000 more than Phoenix. I asked them to justify why and they couldn't. Their lesson delivery systems were both the same and there were not many differences.

Shop around, but make sure the program you purchase is one that will work for your goals, time frame and be accepted in your state.

I am currently obtaining my master's degree in education with a focus on teaching and technology from Valley City State University in Valley City, ND. I live in Illinois. I love it! Although, I am a bit biased because I received my undergrad degree there. Both were extremely affordable. I never looked anywhere else when thinking about a master's degree. The professors are AMAZING!!! The university is TOP-NOTCH!
