Augusta U Online - $7-8k Masters Degrees!!!

[kakasahib]

Correct. In Any Field. 
I have an MPA, MBA, MAOL, MSc-E-Business, MSc Health Administration, and Master of Public Health. I started Cumberland's PhD in IT Security, and I was stupid enough to waste nine credits of money when I realized that the university, its students, and its academic faculty are not up to par, and I am just getting pieces of paper.
Hence don't want DBA or EdD. I just want the PhD. 
I searched many of the universities, and everyone I looked at is at least 36K. I looked at Liberty and it is around the same. 
Hence, looking around for other experiences that have these degrees and seeing what is relevant. 
The cost is a big factor; otherwise, I could have done the South College DBA or EdD since they pretty much meet the good enough cost model. I don't have employer who pays for it. 
Thanks

Doctoral programs are not cheap at all. You are going to spend at least 25k. If you are looking for a PhD I do not have one so I would advise keep searching but if you are open to a doctor in healthcare administration I would recommend Oklahoma State University, since you have an MSc in Health Administration and a Masters in Public Health, they will accept up to 30 credits towards their doctoral program which leaves you with 32 credits to complete. The cost is $530 per credit, which is very affordable; if you can get the credits transferred, it will cost you under 17k to get the degree.
 OSU is regionally accredited, has no dissertation, and is a recognized state university. All work can be completed online.

Thank you !!
This is great. I will explore this. 25K is OK but paying above 28K is difficult for me. 
Thanks again.
