Online Colleges Cheaper than American Public University? Please Help and Thank You
#1
I am kindly asking for some assistance and would greatly appreciate it at your earliest convenience. Are there regionally accredited online colleges that offer the Master of Public Administration degree or similar degree programs or required courses than American Public University? American Public University is charging me $350 per credit hour.

I would greatly appreciate any information. Thank you. Please take care.

$350 is actually on the lower end. Valdosta State University charges $293 per credit hour for its online graduate programs (they offer an MPA), but the fees might make it about as expensive as APUS.

grad school is always expensive, and online programs have very few -if any- scholarships or discounts. (which is why it's so incredibly important not to go into debt or spend all our money on the undergrad degree imo).

$350 is a good price for graduate tuition, that's about $11,000 for a masters. I think you might be able to dig for a $10,000 master's, but I don't think $1000 changes anyone's life. I *think* Western New Mexico University is still the cheapest RA graduate tuition Tuition & Fees - Online Programs but you have to keep your pace at 6 credits or less and their degrees are interdisciplinary.
