Has anyone heard of Columbia Southern University?

I am looking into taking a Online Program and want to find the best choice that will also be affordable. I have checked with CHEA and DETC and looks like they are good.

Yes I have. They offer a more unique platform for distance education in having DVD lecture content so you can see actual lectures and replay them multiple times. I believe they are still a branch of University of Alabama, which has a pretty solid reputation, and they are regionally accredited, which provides a few more options when looking into graduate programs (however, quite a few institutions have moved away from that distinction and now treat national and regional the same). As far as affordability, they are very reasonable with tuition. I would say though that with any choice in higher education it is important to look at the career you are going to be going into, or the option within the company you work for that you are looking to pursue, and make sure that the program meets the standard of what you are seeking to do. Hope that is of some help, best of luck, Steve
