Coursera and edX programs have been discussed a lot on this forum. I don't find Micromasters or Mastertrack programs to be attractive if they only transfer into expensive schools. Plus, admission is not always guaranteed, so the certificates are worthless if you can't get into the program you planned to transfer to. What I consider cheap is less than $15,000 for the entire degree program. Unless you're in the MBA program, FHSU is less than $11,000 for a 36-credit master's degree. Harvard Extension doesn't offer an MBA.
The best and cheapest degrees offered via Coursera and edX don't utilize Mastertrack or Micromaster certificates. Also, some of these programs you can transfer into are not 100% online, so you have to factor in the cost of traveling and staying at a hotel or Airbnb.
