Yeah. Find someone to set up a FileMaker data base, go through Peterson's
Independent Study Catalog, and enter each listed school's cost per
semester unit, and sort them by cost, and see what happens.
Oh, OK, I'll do it.
Caveats: done very quickly; converting quarter-units to semester units and
Canadian dollars to US in my head; ignoring sometimes much lower costs for
in-state students (e.g., U of Florida: $64 vs. $262), and bearing in mind
that graduate units sometimes cost more. Also, Peterson's doesn't include
junior or community colleges, which may be less; wonder if there is a
comparable compendium? Anyway, it's a start.
