University of Alabama-RN to BSN

I was originally enrolled in the RN to BSN program at Walden where I have taken 4 nursing courses. I have 34 credit hours (6 courses) left to take. I took a leave of absence a year ago for medical and personal reasons. I recently inquired about restarting the program and noticed that they have increased their tuition rates. I wasn't all that happy with their program and since tuition is so high I started looking at other institutions. My employer offers tuition reimbursement and now the yearly maximum will be reached in 1 1/2 semesters at Walden because of their tuition rate. So I need to find a program that costs much less.

I have looked at the University of Alabama, Southeast Missouri State University, TTUHSC, West Texas A&M, University of Texas at Arlington, and WGU just to name a few. Anyone have any experience with University of Alabama's RN to BSN program? Alabama seems to have a good program and I would only need to take 1 prerequisite course compared to 2-4 at the other institutions listed. The cost will be about $8700 total. I appreciate any feedback on Alabama.
