It all depends upon skools.some skools provide free for their students and some charges minimal.When i graduated in Dec 2003  my graduate skool charged me $30 for the gown,Cap,Tie(I dunno what its called) and Graduation pics taken by Pros and  wood Frame for degree.it was pretty nice.i don't think nobdy charges more than $40 -$50 in US rest of the world i have no idea.

Yeah they offer all these great programs but don't offer degrees.  They only offer diplomas.  I guarantee that a future employer will be searching for a diploma graduate and not a diploma no matter what course it is in.  I researched them and decided to go to a college instead and I am 33.  Never too late, wish I would have went years ago.  If you want to raise your education level might as well go for the gold and go back to college.  Good luck!

I am pursuing this career also.  My main advice if you're just starting is to make sure the school you choose is accredited.  Many unaccredited programs will offer you online courses and take your money, but a degree from them isn't really worth anything.

If you are a student, you can get a major price break. As far as finding it legally cheaper if you are not a student, I cannot help you.\n\nStudent Discount Sites:\n\nhttp://www.campustech.com\nhttp://www.academicsuperstore.com/

These are not proper universities.  They take your money, and give you nothing.  The degree is a fraud, and every employer will know that the certificate is worthless.

Okay, first of all, be kind of careful when you ask the question about residences.  I'm not saying all colleges lie, but several will tell their employees to really play up the dorms.  Afterall, if you live in the dorms, the college makes more money!  Just something to think about =0)  And, to tell the truth, dorm life isn't always bad!  Make sure you really weigh out the cost of dorm life vs. apartment cost.  Compare money cost (water, electricity, gas, sewer, trash, etc.) as well as time costs (mowing the lawn, painting the house, taking care of things that break) when it comes to thinking about living off campus.  \n\nQuestions I think you should ask:\n1. What is the job placement rate for that major?\n2. Will I need a minor to go along with that major?  If so, what suggestions do you make?\n3. How many professors are in my program of study?\n4. Are there any student organizations on campus that I would be interested in?  (This is really personal to you.  If you are religious, ask about religious organizations.  If you are interested in Greek life, ask about Sor/Frats on campus.  etc!)\n5.  Ask to see the degree program if you haven't all ready!\n6.  Ask if it would be possible to talk to some students in your major on that campus.  After all, who knows better about the program than the students all ready there!\n\nA lot of these questions are really specific to the department.  I know this will sound like a lot of work (and I'll be honest, I have no information about nutrition-type jobs), but ask yourself "what do I want to be" and "Where do I want work" when I grow up type questions.  Then, call that place or someone with a similar job and ask if they have any recommendations about where to get a degree.  Some colleges out there, unfortunately, just don't offer a good program and once you are out trying to find a job, it is too late to go back and re-think your choice of colleges.\n\nBest of luck to you!

this would depend on the college you choose.  each school has different prices for the credit hour and the fees for the credit hour.  also don't forget the book cost.  the college i went to it was $65.00 per credit hour (3 per class) that included the tuition fee.  then the books were anywhere from $75.00-$150.00.  Buy used books always; they are alot cheaper, plus sometimes have answers in them.   probably the best place to get your books would be amazon.com

Why not try your local college, they usually have courses in that field, and it will be cheaper than forking out £2500.  If your on any benefits you may get your fee waivered if you go to any college.

I have done the same in a way, Britsh degree from Edinburgh and applied for a US government job. I had to prove some kind of equivalence with a US university or get my degree accredited by an independent source. The second option costs around $150. I got a nice professor from the university of california to write a letter for me (they have an office in edinburgh) explaining that courses from edinburgh were interchangeable with those from california. I suspect  that this is just because it's a govt job. Any questions please contact me

I have been taking on-line courses for about a year now. (Business Adminastration) I am taking them though the local college. I checked out the on-line at other places and their cost was 3 times as much as our local college. Yes, you can get financial aid for these, but it is no where near the amount that it will cost you. ADVISE: Get out of the one you found on the internet, and go to your local college, take the on-line courses through them. Your Financial aid will cover these. Books and all!!!

I got a job at the university I am attending.  Most places let full time employees go to school there for free. It means that I can only take classes part time, but I was not up for getting myself into more loans like I did when I was an undergrad, and I don't have enough money saved to pay full price.  \n\nYou've already checked into financial aid, I assume.  Grants are another good place to look.  Sometimes you can even get an award or grant from your undergraduate institution.

The costs you refer to are for a course and not for the test itself which is nominal. If you know the material, you might try simply purchasing a review book at your local book store ( or borrowing from the library).\n\nIf you need a course (particularly in an immigrabt community) they may be offered by local community groups or religious groups. no fee courses may also be offered at adult or continuing education centers at local high schools or similar. Try searching for YOUR state and GED on google

I'm in the US -- Miami, FL. (Florida International University)\n\nI get in-state tuition rates.\n\nAs an undergraduate, I paid $102.08 per credit. (Except I didn't really pay because I had a scholarship)\n\nAs a graduate student, I pay 238.56 per credit. (Except I don't really pay that much because I have a graduate assistantship and it pays my tuition)\n\nCurrently, I'm working on my masters, but I plan to get a PhD.\n\nFIU has some of the lowest tuition rates in the nation, however.

Hey,\n\nI am academic myself, so I purchased it as a student:\nhttp://www.academicsuperstore.com/market/marketdisp.html?PartNo=731442&qk_srch=photoshop\n\nIt's $289 as a student and $510 non-academic. If it helps to make it worth it, it can be legally installed on two computers. \n\nThe trial?\nhttp://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=39&platform=Windows\n\nI don't recommend downloading a pirated version. And I recommend being careful on limewire. Newer versions lack spyware but there are many bad files.

I think its a rip off that they charge so much money to send the scores. I spent over 100 bucks sending my scores last year, including SAT IIs and stuff; after of course paying nearly 50 bucks to take the tests to begin with.. Rip off, FUCK college board.

Depends on the state... For example, I'm from UT and I'm a college recruiter and I have a few people from out of state that would rather come here to UT for school because it is cheaper for them to be here in UT as an out of state student than an in state student in the state they are from... This one lady from Texas was telling me that in order for her to enroll her daughter in a community college in Texas it was going to cost around $15-17,000/yearly when here in UT as an out of state student it is about $9,000/yearly... Just do your research, college websited should give out that crucial information...
