This may be a stupid question, but I have been out of university for a long time. Is $11,260 for a semester?

I am considering taking a 4 credit online course at UND and the price is listed as $384.88 per credit (https://und.edu/academics/online/enroll-anytime/norw101.html , off topic, but I have finished the duolingo norwegian course and am looking for other ways to progress...)

Figuring for 12-15 credits I don't understand where the huge number is coming from. I was also spoiled by doing half my education in the late 90's and the other half on the GI Bill later, so I'm admittedly probably ignorant to how/where they are hitting people with extra fees and so on both then and now.

Yes, per semester. You can get away with way less if you go to a community college or online school.

Having gone to community college and a private college, the difference in class quality is great, but not over 10 times greater. Maybe three times greater? The state school classes I audited were zero to 1 times better to be honest.
