Oy vay, I've been researching this so long. I need ANY RA masters to get into a state education program that only accepts RA masters degrees for admission. It can be in basket weaving for all they care since I have extensive business experience. I would love to do Andrew Jackson but it's not RA. North Carolina has amazing rates for in-state only but out of state students pay through the nose! Prefer easy (open) admissions). I have seen degree paths for $9000-$11000 but am hoping to do better if possible since I have to follow the masters with a B&M state post-grad certification path that cannot be avoided but is at least $20k.
ANY info I'm missing is appreciated. I get the feeling there is SOMETHING out there I haven't found. Maybe a former NA school that just got RA accreditation or something like that!
Thanks and best.

Here is a thread I just had on this. Western New Mexico University is $141 per credit, fully online. Full regional accreditation. Total of 36 credits needed (18 in two concentrations) I am already asking them about early admission. Under $5,000.

Yes, lots of good info (although everyone seems to have a different price range for WNMU...it's closer to $7000). They require a GRE or gpa (I have no GPA from my TESC degree) which I'd like to avoid so it's on my short list but not a preferred option. Thanks for the response and best regards.
Amberton's Master of Prof. Devlopment is very similar and @ $8200.

Just a thought... talk to a counselor at the school and ask if they will make s special exception for lack of GPA. If not, ask if you can enroll as a Special Student, take two classes to demonstrate your ability, and then enroll full-time.

This made me laugh as it is the very reason I picked my name for this forum years ago. I wanted to just get a degree in anything and could care less about what it was in...even basket weaving...my attitude has changed a bit since then but it is a humorous reminder to myself about how attitudes change.
Wish I could help with the RA Masters course but mine is a NA and no one has even begun to question its validity.
Are you pursuing a doctorate?
