GetEducated CEO and chief
analyst Vicky Phillips was quoted as saying, “eight
of the top ten Best Buys came from publicly funded
universities. Many publicly funded universities in
the South and Midwest are beginning to offer their
degree programs online for one flat fee. This means
that prospective students nationwide can begin
enjoying low public college tuition rates that were
once available only to the residents of selected
states.”
