MS in Education or anything

[FireMedic_Philosopher]

My first thought had been the American College of Education as well, but most master's degree offerings might be beyond the stated budget range.

If you'll accept nationally accredited options, I've been eyeing Acacia University for a year or more now. You could do something like their MA in Secondary Education for just over 5k dollars:

Their website is currently down, but it might be worth bookmarking the University of Pasadena as well, which had a Master of Education degree for around 2,500 dollars as I recall. They're also nationally accredited.

Acacia at one time required grad students to be working educators with regular access to k-12 age classrooms. Do not know if that is still a requirement or not. Otherwise, I would second the ACE degrees, although they are on the high end of the OP's budget.

I thought we determined a few months ago that Pasadena had closed. ?? (they were a .org website and not a .edu which for me was a red flag anyway )

If a degree not education related is acceptable, my cheap suggestion is the $3,000 MBA from American Hellenic University. (I know there are several threads on that program already) The benefit for this degree is twofold... 1) price. 2) Regionally accredited
