What about bachelor in education (french language)? Do you know any self paced with a flat fee like UMPI? UMPI was perfect for me but they don't have it unfortunately. Yes, I keep searching...
Thanks

Your best bet and the cheapest is to go for a TESU BA Foreign Language (French as opposed to their other languages, obviously). Using ACTFL for the bulk of the required transfer credit. You still need online classes to fit just a few of these, but this is a Bachelors vs a Masters option.

Add to that a specialized subject area, French/foreign language, and a pretty low budget.Thanks for the feedback. Below are the requirements for the job, but I think it's more for the core subjects teachers. I'm planning to teach French, Spanish or Arabic as a second language in the middle school. It's a private American school in Saudi Arabia. I'm not sure if the required north American certificate is the same as licensure. I am guessing also that they would be less strict with teachers of mentioned languages as a second language.
You say you want a program that leads to licensure, but you say you want to teach in private schools. Those typically don’t require licensure. Nothing wrong with wanting a teaching license even if you don’t need it, but foregoing that would make it easier for you to find a program. Likewise, do you have access to a classroom/are you in a position to do student teaching at an approved school? That would be required for a licensure-oriented degree. Finally, does the degree need to be French-specific? Would a more general degree in foreign language education/pedagogy serve your needs?
