I am looking into a Master’s of some sort in Digital or Online Marketing and need some input from anyone with experience or knowledge. I don’t want a MBA with the accounting requirements (my undergrad degree is Liberal Studies) and my only hard criteria are Title IV eligibility, online, and maybe ability to do it Part Time. I am looking at WGU and SNHU as possibles. Otherwise, I am not looking for a lot of academic rigor or accolades from the school but hoping to keep tuition down if possible.

I've mentioned this before on a few threads for people looking at the Masters, it really depends on the person and how they want to do things. My recommendation has always been the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience. You really don't need MBA or Masters with Marketing, you can get a MAOL and Coursera plus EDX Professional Certificates in Marketing (and related subjects) in addition to experience in the field. Here are a few threads from MichaelDoesMarketing, ultimately settled for UIUC IMSM Management.

I am thinking a MA in Online Communications might actually encompass what I am looking for which is marketing content creation and campaigns? Any recommendations? I am not really all the interested in business theory.

OP hasn't logged in for 6 months, hopefully they're still lurking and searching this board regularly, so they can and may answer...

WGU seems to have quite a lot of operational setbacks according to reddit, and the idea of proctored exams doesn't sound particularly appealing.
Walden is cheaper if you can finish in one term, if my memory serves me right.
