    I posted several months ago where I discussed my experience with CCU, since I only had a few classes to complete. Well, I officially graduated last month, so good news, I get to keep my job, whew!

    Moving forward, I've narrowed my grad school options to a few schools with 100% online MHA programs, and cost is the main factor. $500 per credit range or lower. (my employer picks up the tab)

    I've been accepted into Texas A&M-Kingsville's Graduate School where I intend to pursue their online Grad Certificate in Health Care Administration, and then possibly enter their MBA program.

    I'm also waiting to hear back from Saint Joseph's College of Maine. They have a good online MHA program and in speaking to one of their counselors, alumni have done well in Texas (where I live). This is my first choice.

    I also exploring Rosalind Franklin's online MHA program. Does anyone out there have any experience with them?

    Anyone have any other suggestions considering my budget restrains, before I commit? Fully online MHA program is the preferred track.
    Thanks in advance!

    Congratulations!!! Good luck selecting a school, that's not my industry, but I'm sure you'll get some good suggestions from others. :)

    Thanks Ed and cookderosa.

    I forgot to mention that I've looked at Bellevue's online MHA as well. They could factor in as well as my 3rd or fourth choice. I was initially interested in the Master of Administration with Healthcare Administration specialization from the University of West Florida because they allow for in state tuition rates. It's not a true MHA, but interesting nonetheless. This program would be my 4th or 5th option.

    Again, suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated.

    Check out this list from geteducated.com. Not all of the programs listed here are true MHA degrees, but there are some very inexpensive options.

    Thanks, that's an excellent list. I'll check out Lamar University.

    Interesting observation: I had previously researched University of South Dakota and their Master of Science in Administration with Healthcare Administration concentration program. It's interesting. Geteducated.com says that USD does not accept non regionally accredited undergrad degrees for admission into graduate programs. This is partially true only. USD's graduate catalog does state they will accept applicants with non regionally accredited degrees on a provisional basis into their MSA program. However, they will not allow that for their MBA admission guidelines.
    I wonder if how many other schools listed have similar policies. That bit of inaccurate info is not helpful.
