Try Excelsior University and see if they accept any of your UMPI MAOL credits for transfer. They accept up to 15 transfer credits towards their MPA degree which is only 30 credits. I completed the degree back in 2019 - 2020 when it first launched. https://www.excelsior.edu/program/master...istration/

I know Walden has a MPA, and I believe ASU does as well.

I am assuming you are a citizen or permanent resident of Canada. Within your budget as a Canadian are the MPA programs Royal Military College and the University of Victoria. I mention them because you may wish to augment your education with a local degree. RMC allows civilian enrollment for the MPA program. Both are not totally asynchronous though in case that's a dealbreaker for you.

I do not recommend the Master of Public Service at Waterloo. Nobody I've met from that program had nice things to say about it.

This might be too far from what you are looking for, but OP Jindal has an MA in Public Policy for $3-4K through Coursera:

Public relations is related to communications and journalism. I'm not sure that's what the OP is aiming for.

User did not state what he intends to use the degree for or his focus, hence why I put notable mention. He asked for degrees in public relations that were cheap and accept transfer credits which this program hits the target on what he asked for.

That must have been on another thread. I only see public administration, public service, and labor studies/relations.

I’m not here to argue with you. As I stated a notable mention for a suggested program that might fit the users end goal seems like he is looking for a public administration degree but is open to public service , labor studies , and labor relations which public relations is not far from a combination of those degrees even if this particular program has a interdisciplinary focus of a combination of public relations , journalism, communication communications, and administration.
