Online courses offer the advantage of time and location flexibility which can be extremely helpful for those working and attending college simultaneously. Online degrees are a great way for working mothers to further their education while balancing child care duties. In some cases, the cost of online courses is more affordable than attending traditional on-campus classes, especially if you factor in the cost of commuting to class if you don't live near a traditional campus.
Our list below of the lowest cost online colleges in Texas is not confined to online-only colleges, but includes all four year colleges in Texas which offer distance learning classes through the internet. Selecting a local college in Texas which offers both online degrees or online classes will give you the option of attending class either in a traditional classroom or online.
