Can I complete my bachelor's degree 100% online at Lamar University?

You’ll never need to come to campus unless you choose to attend optional graduation ceremonies.

How much does an online undergraduate degree program cost?

The cost of an online bachelor’s program varies widely by institution. Public universities like Lamar University generally offer the most affordable options, while private institutions and out-of-state programs tend to be more expensive.

Factors that affect online degree costs:

  • In-state vs. out-of-state tuition rates
  • Public vs. private institution
  • Transfer credits accepted (can significantly reduce total cost)
  • Financial aid, scholarships and employer tuition
  • Program-specific fees and technology costs

Cost-saving strategies:

  • Complete your first credits at a Texas community college, then transfer to a university
  • Apply for federal financial aid (FAFSA)
  • Look for AACSB-accredited programs at public universities (best value/quality ratio)
  • Take advantage of accelerated formats to graduate faster
  • Check if your employer offers tuition reimbursement

How long does it take to earn an online bachelor's degree at Lamar University?

Most students complete their online bachelor’s degree in 3-4 years. However, if you transfer credits from a community college, you can finish sooner. Motivated students taking more courses per term can graduate even faster. Lamar University’s accelerated 8-week courses allow you to complete 6 terms per year instead of 2 traditional semesters.

Can I transfer credits to Lamar University's online programs?

Yes! Lamar University accepts up to 66 transfer credits from accredited colleges and universities, including all Texas community colleges.

We have articulation agreements with Texas community colleges for seamless transfer.

Are Lamar University's online bachelor’s degree programs respected by employers?

Yes! Lamar University is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Our business programs also hold AACSB accreditation, earned by fewer than 6% of business schools worldwide, and our nursing programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
