Hellenic American or a different one? There's no tuition rates listed. I'm looking at ASU mostly, which is ~$15,000 in total for any program but has easier entry requirements. It's because I can do some of it with Coursera and want to get a degree from a good school.
I wouldn't mind getting into an Ivy school if I can afford it, but I'll be using grad loans and just have 60k to do it. If I go 3 years then yeah, I could go half-time and it'd be 12k per year and I'd get 8k for living expenses (based on Harvard and UPenn rates of ~$3000 per class x2 for half-time). That's outrageously expensive, though.
The thing is that a lot of these micromaster's to master's or just the programs offered through the MOOC sites at Ivys are cheaper than many state schools. I've seen costs for 40k+ for just a master's degree and that's insane! Anything under 20k is reasonable, especially if you can push it out over 2-3 years.
UT at Austin is 10k total for a comp sci degree but requires a specific undergrad and has other strict requirements. I don't want an easy program, just something easy to get into that is low-priced, has a quality education, and is somewhat ranked.
EDIT: I found Eastern.edu after a Google search, or Eastern University of St. Davids, PA. They offer completely online self-paced master's degrees for $9900 total, and an MS - Data Science/MBA - Organizational Management dual track for $20,000. https://www.eastern.edu/lifeflex
It's just those two or the dual degree, but they do offer regular master's degrees as well.
