Free for Texans, $1000 for Non-Texans 6-hour class bundle at East Texas A&M

What graduate programs or degrees would these courses apply towards?

Are there plans for any new graduate programs in the Innovation and Design College?

Are there any plans to make a Masters degree with pricing similar to the CBE programs offered at ETAM?

At the moment, they don't apply to any current degrees offered at ETAMU. That is likely why they are free. These look like great classes though -- sought after fields/knowledge for sure.

Each school and program will have different requirements for what they accept for transfer credit in their majors but these classes look like they would transfer into various programs like instructional design, curriculum and instruction, maybe public health or safety, business programs, etc. At the bare minimum they could be used in an elective area for lots of degrees or get you to the required hours needed to graduate somewhere.

That being said, if the university is offering several new courses, in the College of Innovation and Design like these, and they are recruiting students to take them but offering them for free -- then chances are there is a new program or programs coming that these might apply towards directly (you never know -- no guarantees). They just can't say it yet if it isn't official. They could be gauging interest in the bundle areas as well. Its a pretty good deal though -- 2 free classes -- 6 hours. That's 10% of a standard masters degree. Its limited risk for the reward -- just time spent. No application fee, no cost classes, 6 hours. Also, I could be mistaken but it looks like those classes are only a month long (based on their schedule of classes). So, I wonder if more will be available later.
