Least Expensive Doctorates in Psychology, Counseling, or Other Mental Health fields

True, here's an example, someone with a PharmD from an international institution, they're qualified in their country and decide to come here to the US for permanent residency. Some states will not accept the PharmD as equivalent, they would have to go through a licensing or a process to get them the equivalency, it's not a right away type of thing with an evaluator, but they still will do something like ABD program to bridge whatever the gaps are... That's what I am referring to for the PsyD or PhD Psych and similar ones where it requires a certification or licensing to practice in the field, people may already have a PhD/PsyD or similar and need to go through that 'bridge' program before they are allowed to practice in the state.

University of the Cumberlands has Online Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision for around $30k (if no credits transferred in)

One person speaks Spanish and some Portuguese, so there may be opportunities there. No one never expressed interest in foreign programs but there may be something there. I'll just have match some programs with state requirements (for those concerned about that part, not all are from what I could gather) and see what could work.

"No one never"? Yikes, lol.

Anyway, Central University of Nicaragua's $8,900 PhD in Psychology would be something if it's still being offered through their International School. The site appears to be taking registrations now, but that may only be a matter of appearance. I haven't looked into whether the program is actually active or not since last hearing it was closed due to national political issues in the country.
