(Graduate tuition, Spring 2025)

I don't think TAMUC can be considered one of the most affordable grad schools.
A friend goes to Ohio University Med school (DO) and the current in state tuition is $756 Out of state $1,113
Another friend went to Optometry school at the University of Houston and the current tuition is in state $668.60 out of state $1,156.17
One of the masters I looked was $10,000 UT Austin Online master’s in computer science, but they also two others: master’s in data science or master’s in artificial intelligence https://cdso.utexas.edu/
That comparison isn't fair because its one of the cheapest masters in the US, but there are many schools that are cheaper and are in a similar or higher tier than TAMUC.

Not sure. Maybe they give discounts the more hours you register for. 

One thing to consider is the quality of education you are getting at some of these universities offering cheaper tuition rates or flat rates for whole programs. A lot of schools are going with third party companies like Academic Partnerships which is basically recorded lectures from faculty outside of the institution where the university faculty are just uploading these videos and grading the students on simple quizzes. Some schools are having their faculty teach these classes but the curriculums are predesigned by these partnerships and meant to allow students to graduate quickly with ease without regard to the necessarily quality or real learning taking place. I know that ETAMU is not a diploma mill, but I can't speak for the others in general; sometimes its very hard to tell without directly asking the admission folks and faculty if they are using partnerships and canned materials like this. Anyways, the point is, you get what you pay for a lot of the time. Some states offer tuition funding to universities in general too which is something to consider when comparing tuition rates; taxes go into this.
