Here's a thread you may want to review, you should do a search for possible options as well for cheap/inexpensive Masters:

But will they accept an NA bachelor's degree for admissions?
University of the People is now considered RA by two counts. The first is the US has effectively abolished the difference regarding DEAC, so while you will still see schools requiring "regionally accredited", if you look up the actual state laws (which I did for regional accreditation required for public school teacher licenses), DEAC is now listed as an acceptable "regional" accreditation in my state and several others I checked.
The second is University of the People is a candidate for traditional regional accreditation. By US law, any candidate is automatically counted as already having said regional accreditation, for the length of its candidacy. If by the time the OP applies for admissions to a Master's at another school that candidacy has been lost, that's another matter.

Thanks a lot! I actually didn't know that. So since they are a candidate and generally (at least by law) seen as equal, it should be quite possible for me to get into a standard graduate program.

I think you're making too much soup from that oyster. NA degrees might be acceptable for a teaching license in your state, but I don't see how that compels any university to accept them for admissions to a graduate program.
