No. It's a for-profit school that is not regionally accredited.
From the Everest website, they are coy about publishing any overall tuition scheme. Apparently tuition varies by program and by campus as well. You have to sign up with Everest so that they will have the opportunity to call on you to convince you to buy into the program. But you can expect to pay at least 15,000 dollars a year in tuition for a fake degree.
Many traditional colleges offer online courses. Visit your local community college and ask for help from an adviser.

There are tons of online programs. I personally attended traditional and online-only schools, and I have taught for various online schools and traditional schools over the last five years. All are accredited and solid programs. Schools tend to vary in price, so we could say online schools are more expensive, but that is relative. Of course they are more expensive than a community college, but less expensive than Harvard. The price range varies. The key is to find a program that is fully accredited. You should market yourself and not the degree or university. There are many traditional universities offering degrees that can be earned through online methods. Distance Learning Alliance has a list of these traditional online schools. Look at that if you are truly concerned with the name of the school. Good luck on your search!

NO
None of the for-profit schools are
business do not treat "education" at one of those places (including Everest) as worth anything... might as well NOT waste your money
going to your local community college or uni & getting on-line classes from them is a MUCH better option
EDIT TO ADD: You contact them by whatever means is available... best if you can show up in person... and you WITHDRAW from that school... before classes start
they might charge you $200 or so application fee & whatever.. that is a whole lot better than getting charged 4 times what it would cost to go to your local community college
disabled? if so, go talk with your local community college.. in person, ask them about Vocational Rehab... then go to Vec Rehab & see if you meet qualifications for their services.. you might need a letter from your doctor verifying your disabilities
if you are on SSDI or SSI .... then you have a Ticket to Work... Voc Rehab can use a combination of Pell Grants & that Ticket to Work to help you so you won't have to take out loans to go to school
If Everest gives you any trouble.... just tell them you are going to contact (1) the Department of Education (2) your State Congressmen
Contact Everest NOW.... tell them you want to withdraw immediately.... and that you want to make sure they provide you with proof that you will not be billed & that your Financial Aid will not be further processed..... you want proof that you owe them NO MONEY (like I said earlier, they will probably tack on however much they were going to charge for your application fee)

Avoid for profit schools like Everest. They have a bad reputation. Go to a non-profit school or a state or city university or technical college.
