NYUx Cybersecurity Fundamentals is an edX course offered by NYU as part of its microBachelors cybersecurity track. It introduces core cybersecurity concepts and can be taken free per class, with a paid certificate option.
One commenter says cybersecurity pays well and calls the NYU course a "screaming deal" at $1,344 for the certificate, while noting each class can be taken free without certification.

Check out edx.org. It is run by Harvard University and MIT. Can't get much better than that. They coordinate classes and programs by great universities all of the USA and world. Here are other universities that are part of the edx.org program: https://www.edx.org/schools-partners
You can take classes for free or can get certificates of completion for each class.
They have micro-Bachelors programs offered by universities that have a higher cost, but are 100% online, very inexpensive, actual real college credits, no application process. You can pay $500 - $1400 for a micro-course of 3-5 classes, or you can take them individually for free.

They also have professional certifications. https://www.edx.org/professional-certificate
UI is great. If you are not 100% settled on that, Cybersecurity pays huge dollars and you will get job offers out the ass. It costs $1,344, which is a screaming deal, if you want the certificate. And again, you can take each class seperately for free, but with no certification. https://www.edx.org/microbachelors/nyux-cybersecurity-fundam...

I would definitely give this a look.

However, if you want an actual associates degree, then I would advise you to look at your instate public community college system and see if they have online programs, as that will be by far your least expensive way to go, and follow that up by going to your instate public state university. As you said, it is up to you to check each class for it's transferability to your public state university. I would hard core recommend that you do NOT talk to any private university unless tuition is under $10K per year, which I only see rarely. And you need to go in-state public universities because it can be very expensive to go to out of state higher education. For example, for California community colleges, the average tuition is approximately $1,458 per year for in-state students and $6,710 for out-of-state students. I know my nephews took a lot of online courses from the California community colleges. You'll have to check out your own, in whatever state that you are in.
Good luck.
