The cost of completing a legal studies degree online varies significantly depending on the college. Many distance education programs charge all learners the same tuition rate, regardless of where they live. This means you might save money on an out-of-state college by attending a distance-learning program, given that out-of-state tuition costs significantly more than in-state tuition at most public universities.
NCES reports that the average undergraduate student paid $9,375 for one year of in-state tuition and fees at a four-year, public university in 2020-21. This means the average four-year degree from a public college might cost around $37,500 total. Paying out-of-state tuition or attending a private school usually increases the cost of attendance.
Looking at tuition data from our list of the best online legal studies degrees, Northeastern State University charges the lowest tuition rate, at $247 per credit. The most expensive school on the list is The Pennsylvania State University, which charges $620 per credit. Assuming a typical four-year legal studies degree requires 120 credits, you can expect to pay between about $29,640 to $74,440 for an online bachelor’s degree in legal studies.
