    Yes you :cool:

    Can anyone recommend online Masters in Public Affairs/Administration with concentrations in Nonprofit management (Besides Park University). I would prefer 400.00 and under per credit hour (the cheaper the better really) but want a good school so would consider more money for a great school.

    I have been searching for about 2 days and im not having much luck!

    Troy has an MPA in NonProfit Management - College of Arts and Sciences

    They are RA and National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) accredited

    You can check out the University of Illinois at Springfield MPA program. Not sure what the out-of-state tuition rate is, but i'm sure you can find out from their website.

    It is about $15K for the program (I looked into it). 10 classes / 4 credits each. They do not offer concentrations.

    No it does not have to be an MPA but I do want the non-profit part of it. Actually I have seen a lot of the MPA programs have concentration just not very many with the non-profit concentration..

    I wish I could find the tuition rates for the college you linked but I get annoyed when they do not have this information online !

    A lot of MBA programs now offer non-profit management tracks. Maybe you should look into some of those to broaden your options.

    I am currently doing my MPA with University of Colorado - Denver. They have a non-profit concentration. I really like the program so far. If I recall correctly, each 3 credit class costs $1600 (you need 12 classes to graduate). Not as cheap as you had hoped but you would have a good degree from a good school for not much more than your price point.
