Cheapest Master's Degree Credits

I didn't check any of the other schools. GetEducated also lists SHSU as the cheapest for a free in-state program. I think that is pretty lame. What's up with that? Am I reading something wrong?

Look at the cost for a full course load. Many colleges charge a lot for a few credits, but get cheaper per credit hour the more credits you take.

I get $382 and $432 for 12 credits with fees. Do fees really add up to that much? I'm just wondering why these sites don't add in fees. It seems disingenuous to me for them to list the lower rate. That may be "how it's done", but I think it is telling that SHSU and other colleges add in fees to the calculation. It's still damn cheap, don't get me wrong. I just wish sites were more up front about it.

Tuition Rates | Operations Management | University of Arkansas

I dunno if anyone would be interested in this as a Masters Program but it's very affordable if you are interested and you qualify. There are some pre-req but if your GPA is high enough you don't have to take the GMAT/GRE

They aren't the cheapest, but what they charge is about average for a public university.

If you search the forum you will find some threads here where members have detailed the experience: Affordable Accredited Online University | WGU Tuition and Fees | Western Governors University

The self-paced program makes it potentially quite cheap, but only if you work through it quickly. I hear finishing in one term is rare, but possible!

This is definitely intriguing. I love a good challenge. With my employer's tuition reimbursement plan, I could get a free master's degree if I could complete this in 6 months...
