Master's Degree in Education or Related Field

Hello, all.

A colleague of mine, a public school coach and teacher, has expressed an interest in a totally online (totally distance, at least) option for obtaining his master's degree, probably in the field of education or related.

Here are his perameters:

1. Cost between $5000 to $6000
2. No thesis
3. No GRE
4. Totally online
5. 30 hours

Anyone care to help? All responses are much appreciated.

California State University, East Bay

They offer a 100% online MS in Education program for less then $10,000 for out-of-state students and considerably less for in-state students. Emphasis of the program is online teaching and learning.

I'm a graduate of and now faculty in that program, and I highly recommend looking into it. No GRE, and completion time is less than two years for most students. The program is 40 quarter units, which is equivalent to about 30 semester units. Students have the option of a thesis or a final project.
