Most affordable online Master in Finance for international student

[David1477]

Ok, here is some more information to work with:

Location: Belarus
Age: 22
What kind of degree: Masters in Finance/Financial Management
Regionally accredited credits:

None. I got nationally accredited credits from UoPeople and currently 66 Sophia ACE credits (will finish the degree with 90 ACE credits and 30 nationally accredited ones)

Budget: My bachelor's will be around $2k. I was efficient with Sophia, will transfer in the max amount of Ace credits and got a scholarship. I'm ready to pay more for my masters but realistically my max. is somewhere around $10k.

Commitments: wife, 2 kids, 1 full time and 2 part time jobs, single income household. But I am a fast learner and can manage full time study (just probably not a whole masters in 8 weeks).

Available time: probably around 15 hours per week, but I learn anything but abstract math + comp science topics (not my jam) really fast, so I can get plenty of work done in that time.

Timeline: ideally less than a year or at least less than 1,5 years

Tuition assistance: nope

I checked out some of the big names, SNHU, TESU, Purdue global and many more - since graduate per credit tuition+fees are generally higher and I am always in the out of state bracket of the "cheaper" colleges, I didn't find anything within my budget yet. I also don't think transfer credits can help me this time, since graduate transfer credits aren't as simple to get as undergrad ones.

I am not bound to just US degrees, but I thought getting a NA bachelor's for quite cheap and then getting a RA masters in the field I actually want to get into from a school where the degree will hold international value, would be the most cost efficient option for me.

I can't benefit from programs in Russian, as I'm not a native here and my Russian is good enough for every day life, but not good enough to read and write academic papers.

I can't really name any options to consult me on because everything I found was like 20k+ and therefore out of my budget. For example, I liked SNHUs Master in Finance, but can't afford it.

The first suggestion I got seems to cost around $30k for an international student if I understood the tuition chart correctly, or am I mistaken ?

UoPeople MBA would ofc fit my budget, but fail to achieve the goal of a finance degree and having regional accreditation. It's an option after all, but more like a last resort.

Organizational Leadership at UMass global or Umpi would be RA, affordable and at least somewhat related to my goal. But not have anything to do with finance and only be somewhat related to business.

Eastern University had the cheapest RA MBA for an international student I could find at $9900 ($300 per credit + some fees). It would be a business degree (better than just organizational leadership imo) and still fit into the budget.

I liked SNHUs MS in Finance curriculum and they seem to accept UoPeople grads, but it's out of reach financially.

That's how far I got by myself. But still couldn't find something that is: regionally accredited (or equivalent to it if international), a finance degree, somewhere within my budget (if using every discount, transfer credit or whatever I can use to lower the price).

If there is something like UoPeople (NA, but decent quality and somewhat respected) that offers a finance degree within my budget, I'd also consider it.
