Most affordable online Masters program? Any universitys offer in-state tuition?

[cookderosa]

I am completing my BGS from Fort Hays State University in December and hope to enter a Masters Program that is online or on a campus that does not charge out of state tuiton. I live in Illinois and the universitys even for in-state are very pricey that why I ended up at FHSU. I use websites like geteducated.com to view the best buys but wonder if there are any more. Also which online masters programs have the least requirements for graduation?

I am aware of the Big 3 and all their programs offered and if all goes to hell TESC MSM program looks apealing. I am looking at possibly a management program or a sociology or a history. The reason why there are so many options is because history is my favorite subject but I do not like to write long essays, and sociology is my strongest subject, and I think management would be best for future employment in many fields.

Ideally, I would like to become a adjunct online instructor for a for profit of community college but I cannot seem to get credible information on how difficult it is to get a position at any institution. Would a for profit or community only hire someone from a brick and mortor? Fort Hays State is brick and mortar but they only offer a Master of Liberal Studies that I am intrested in and I dont think that would be very eye catching to online employers even though 18 hours are in a concentration. Any information on how hard and what is needed to become a online instructor? What institution hires the most?

I have found Minot State University to charge $247 for graduate credit and have a MSM online degree but no information is available on course content or instructors so Im sort of leary because most likely only one course option is available.

PLEASE HELP

Hi! I'm in Illinois too. There is an awesome master's program through Western New Mexico University, you get instate tuition if you take 6 or fewer credits per semester. The entire degree will be less than $6,000 and you get 2 each 18 credit concentrations, meaning two community college teaching areas.
