Earning an associate’s degree in business is a great starting place if you want to enter the business field. With distance education, you can enroll in a low-cost online business program without having to step into a classroom. You can take the required classes on the internet without disrupting your work or family life.

We ranked over 45 regionally accredited online associate’s degrees in business by tuition cost (ranked from lowest tuition to highest) so you can choose an inexpensive degree. Also, we noted special features (like business accreditation) if a degree has them.

We believe the list below is the most comprehensive list of accredited, well-rated, cheap online business degrees on the web. But gathering a list of all the degrees is a big endeavor so we may have missed some. Please contact us at thebestdegrees@gmail.com if you see any degrees missing. Thanks!

These rankings were compiled on July 2010. The costs are estimates based on a degree completion time of two years or a full time class load. We noted if part time students have a different cost than full time students.
