In this article, an economice analysis and description is carried out about what university undergraduate and master's students face who carry out their studies through the virtual instruction modality (IV) in comparison with conventional instruction (IC). Likewise, the semester and total price is detected in the aforementioned educational modalities. The question asked was the following: what is the total price in virtual instruction (IV) and conventional instruction (IC) as well as the total price for student semester? The study is estimated for Colombia using information from the Pedagogical Institute. The results indicate a notable difference between the financial prices according to undergraduate and master's students, where for the former, conventional instruction (IC) has a higher price compared to virtual instruction, while, in the case of students from master's degree, conventional education the economic cost was less price.
