Gauge the Cost of an Online Degree From a U.S. College Posted: 25 Apr 2014 06:30 AM PDT For many international students, the idea of earning an online degree from a U.S. school can seem like an enticing alternative to studying abroad.

If the cost of a specific U.S. online program is a concern, experts say international students can consider a variety of options, including seeking out funding and taking advantage of new, free online options.
