Here's another thought, if those of you are 'active and in service', you really need to research institutions of choice. Most institutions will have undergrad and graduate studies at the same price point. It's getting into the program of your choice that makes the final decision, not the price tag that should hold you back. Find comparable programs and decide which one of your shortlist matches what you're looking for...
I can't seem to find that... Do you mean programs with funding? I absolutely agree - my parent's got their PhDs funded, but I've never been able to find a funded program I could do online in while on active duty. Do you have a jumping off point?
I think he is likely referring to the fact that many universities offer 250 a credit to military-affiliated students because they know it is the TA cap.
Unfortunately, that isn't true at the grad level. The 250 per credit active duty tuition rate at the vast majority of schools only applies at the undergraduate level. There are some, but it is nowhere near as common, and many are TA grubbing hell pits like AMU that are best avoided.
Some offer close to it at 350-400 a credit though, which isn't the end of the world if you claim tuition costs on your taxes that reimburse a percentage. Can bring down OOP costs to 1200 or so a year based on 15 cr.
