Is there an MA in History cheaper than FHSU?

    FHSU seems to have an affordable program at $287.75/credit for on-line graduate-level study. It is unclear to me if there are additional fees in addition to that, and I'm also concerned that it is non-thesis.

    Is there anything more affordable to that? My state, NM, tends to have affordable tuition, but I couldn't find any state school with a master's in History at all on-line in the whole state.

    None that I know of. I also don't remember any additional fees to the per credit price outside of the graduation and application fees.

    Why does it being non-thesis bother you?

    I thought that if you do non-thesis, it is hard to do a PhD. Isn't non-thesis a terminal degree? It's unlikely I'll ever do a PhD, but wouldn't want to limit my options.

    The culminating experience, thesis or non-thesis, does not define whether the degree is terminal. Although all doctorates are terminal degrees, some master's degree are also terminal. For example, MFA, MAT, MBA, M.Eng., and so on.

    On top of this, doctoral study, particularly PhD study as professional doctorates often have a more fixed curriculum, can be very fluid. You might earn a PhD in History but most of your coursework is actually taken from a department other than history. I was recently speaking with a Cornell PhD about this. His degree was in urban planning. His coursework, however, involved very little from within the planning department and most of it was handled through the hotel school as it his thesis dealt with real estate development in city housing. You work with your advisor to structure the courses and experiences you need to get you to your research goal. It's not a "take these classes and go write this paper and get your doctorate" sort of situation.

    This degree is not going to meaningfully limit your options especially when you consider the price point. You don't even need a Masters to get into a PhD program. You can enroll with a bachelors in many of them.

    Now, I HAVE seen some programs state that their MA or MS is terminal depending upon whether you take coursework only, a thesis/capstone or, in some cases, oral exams. In practice, School A can say whatever it wants about its own degrees and how they will be treated for admission to their other programs. They have no control over what School B does with it, however.

    How much for an 80,000-word dissertation in Financial Crises for the Ph.D. in Management at the University of Leicester? :D

    Of course, there are tons of reasons why customers ask us to create their dissertations. Here are the common five reasons to check out if you need our assistance. Read the list below to see if you have one or even several points:

    1. Tiredness and laziness. These are the leading reasons why students need our dissertation services. Of course, laziness doesn't always mean lying down and doing nothing. You may feel ill or depressed, and in this case, it's better to delegate your writing to the team of professionals.
    2. Work, gym, parties. These are important things in every student's life. Some of them have to work at night to get additional money for studying. Others cannot imagine their life without sports. Many young people adore parties and they prefer having some fun instead of boring writing. As a result, they need a writer expert to fulfill the assignment successfully.
    3. Very poor skills. Many young students cannot create successful documents due to weak writing skills. This is not a huge problem if you have a reliable writing service to cooperate with! Get your writer in a few minutes and receive a completed dissertation without delays.
    4. No inspiration for successful writing. Even if you have got strong skills, this is not enough to start your document. You need inspiration to create a successful paper. Without it, nothing goes right. If you're not in the mood for preparing a dissertation, our experts are ready to do it in the shortest terms!
    5. Lack of time. We have only 24 hours in a day, and it's impossible to have more, unfortunately. For some students, the main reason for ordering their paper online is the lack of time for making it on their own. Our team of talented professionals is ready to start their job right now!

    Why are we promoting this? I hope a moderator will delete this post and the previous one.

    Hello!

    I see your point, but on the other hand: Do you consider this promotion? I think that is rather an exposure than a promotion, and furthermore, I think nobody who is sane would deal with them.
    If I would, I would fear that they keep the bills and blackmail me as soon as I get a good job with a fraudulent dissertation...

    But I will not protest if a moderator sees this different and deletes all posts dealing with this, including mine!


    Best regards,
    Mac Juli

    Maybe promotion wasn't the right choice of word. I guess I was trying to say he shouldn't be giving any attention to the spammer.

    Poking fun at spammers is cathartic.

    I've removed the link so the fraudsters don't get free promotion.
