While I appreciate your attempt at being helpful, you are incorrect. A community college is generally the cheapest option for an RN program and maybe even an in-person RN-BSN program with in-state tuition rates, but online RN-BSN programs have a different tuition structure. Not all CO schools offer in-state tuition for online programs. Most but not all have the same cost per credit hour for in-state and out-of-state students, thus my question. I think that you'll find that the two schools you referenced charge the same amount per credit hour for in-state and out-of-state students. I am paying less for the online RN-BSN program I recently enrolled in than I would for the program at either of those two community colleges.
