Please list regionally accredited schools that offer the cheapest Master's degree credits and/or programs. I would greatly appreciate this information and thank you so much. The Master's degree credits and/or programs can be in any subject. For education, I believe the American College of Education is the cheapest.
I can't swear these are the cheapest. However,these are the two schools that stand out to me. Eastern New Mexico University - $221.26 per credit hour for graduate credit (as long as you take 6 or less credits per semester). They offer masters degrees in the following fields: Business Administration (MBA) Education Administration Elementary Education Elementary Education - Alternative Licensure Pedagogy and Learning - emphasis areas include (Reading, TESOL, ELED, SPED, Ed Tech, and BLED) Physical Education - emphases in Coaching or Sports Administration Professional Technical Education Reading and Literacy Secondary Education - Alternate Licensure Secondary Education - for Licensed Teachers Special Education - Alternative Licensure Special Education - for Licensed Teachers Special Education - Early Childhood Nursing - Nursing Education Fort Hayes State University - $246.90 per credit hour for graduate credit (excluding the MBA, which is $400 per credit hour). They offer masters degrees in the following fields: Business Administration (MBA) Counseling (Three - 4 day On-Campus Courses) Education Educational Administration (Principal) Health and Human Performance Higher Education Student Affairs Instructional Technology Liberal Studies (MLS) Professional Studies (MPS) Nursing Administration Nursing Education Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner Track (Supervised Clinical) School Psychology (Two - 3 day On-Campus Workshops) Special Education Also, within the MLS and MPS catagories are multiple concentrations: The MLS has the following concentrations: Art E-Learning Professional Educational Leadership and Management - Administration Educational Leadership and Management - Instructional Educational Leadership and Management - Technology Global Professional English Global Studies Gerontology Global Management Literary Arts Health Sciences Instructional Sciences Management Information Systems Political Leadership and Public Service Political Science Public Administration Social Networking Management The MPS has the following concentrations: Human Resource Management Information Assurance Management Cybersecurity Web Development Computer Networking Public Health Administration Political Management Social Entrepreneurship Instructional Design Chemistry Music Composition Organizational Leadership Criminal Justice Hope this helps.
The Chemistry concentration is on-campus-only, and a prospective student should inquire about the availability of Political Management concentration courses online.
Amberton University credit hours is currently $242.00, last that I checked. They have some interesting options, and you might be able to first gain certificates (four classes) and apply them to the master's degree afterwards (depending what program you select and if they can apply appropriately).
Amberton will allow you to bringing transfer courses....I bet they would even allow several VESI courses like those I mentioned for you on the other site. That would bring your cost for the degree down considerably.
I love this school and its degree options. They offer several graduate level certifications that can be applied to degree programs, in full. Additionally, the Professional Development option is essentially a "Build Your Own Degree" program. Additionally, they will allow 4 courses in transfer.
