    Do you mean "special education", or the Ed.S. credential?

    If you are talking Educational Specialist programs, there are 4 that I looked at:

    Nova Southeastern University has several such programs:

    Liberty University has an Ed.S. in Educational Administration:

    Northwestern State's Ed.S. programs:

    Around here, the Ed.S. is commonly referred to as C.A.G.S. (Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study), and my alma mater UMass-Lowell offers an interesting one online in Curriculum & Instruction (Education of Diverse Populations);

    Reasonably priced online classes at (currently) $286/credit. I am currently taking a class in this program (dabbling before applying to the program). I'm not overly impressed. A PhD-student TA is running the class, and neither she nor the professor is actively involved. Because this school has a strong on-campus program in the same subject matter, it seems as though online classes are not a priority. I have decided not to apply and dropped the summer school class I signed up for.

    Northwestern State University (Natchitoches, Louisiana)
    http://www.nsula.edu/ece/degreeprogs/ed.asp

    Extremely reasonably priced at about $133/credit. I applied to this program but was rejected because it requires a current teaching credential. I then tried to enroll in a class as a nondegree-seeking graduate student (dabbling again), but a variety of administrative glitches prevented me from enrolling. Although information is available on the web site, it's sketchy and difficult to navigate. I recommend calling the graduate office. They are nice and knowledgable. At least one other participant on this board is currently in the program and can probably provide more information.
