I live 3 hours from Minneapolis/St. Paul and want to know if its possible to earn an associate degree online or if there is somewhere closer to get the classes necessary to become a dental hygienist.

I mean for the economic climate. Is an associate degree even relevant anymore? And would a BA acquired online be looked down upon? I don’t think I have the money, grades, or patience for grad school.

I want to have an idea of how much would be the tutition fees for an online associate degree for Information Technology.
