I would check to see if your local university has evening and online classes already. I did this myself with Chapman University in Southern California. Chapman's a nice little university in Orange County. They are accredited and all that. I wouldn't say it's cheaper - I started out at around $255 or so a unit and ended somewhere over $300 but I already had an AA and they gave me credit for some of my certifications so that was cool too.
