Peru, Nebraska – CollegeChoice.Net has ranked Peru State College the eighth Most Affordable Online
College in the nation for 2017. Peru State College was the top ranked college in Nebraska.
CollegeChoice.Net writes, “Peru State College is one of the cheapest online colleges
on this list. This school is perfect for working professionals who need a flexible
degree program that fits into their life."
“This school is accredited by THLC Higher Learning Commission .”
The beginning of the College Choice’s methodology reads, “Based on the 84 percent
increase in income that college graduates get over high school grads, it’s probably
safe to say that the high cost of college is still worth it in the long run.
“But for anyone wondering how they’re going to pay for college in the meantime, it’s
certainly worthwhile thinking through alternatives to the “traditional college experience”—freshman
dorms, packed lecture halls, and competition for scarce classes.”
“That’s where online education comes in. Not only will you avoid the inconveniences
listed above, but you’re also likely to save a lot of money on your education if you
opt online,” College Choice continues.
“Further, the flexibility of online learning allows you to get a degree while holding
down a job, which will further offset the blow to your bank account.”
Answering their own question about what are the most affordable online colleges, College
Choice, writes, “Finding the most affordable colleges isn’t as simple as you might
think. Looking up tuition rates is one thing, but in terms of college cost, tuition
isn’t the end of the story. Most schools tack on additional mandatory fees, which
we’ve included in calculating total cost.”
“Further, we haven’t included just any online colleges. Our list is limited to schools
with regional accreditation, which is the highest form of accreditation available
to a college. So, while this is a list of the Most Affordable Online Colleges, it
only includes institutions that have been recognized as offering a quality learning
experience for their students. We wouldn’t want anything less for you.”
College Choice is an independent online publication dedicated to helping students
and their families find the right college. They publish rankings and reviews that

pay for and thrive at the college of their choice.
