2nd Masters Recommendations

[Coachr21]

Hi all I posted the other day about doctoral programs but I am also interested in cheap accredited, (preferably regional)programs for mathematics , ELA , computer science, Sports management and possibly history even. 

I have a bachelors in mathematics with a 3.6 and a masters in education technology with a 3.9 both from NJCU. Also have a STEM certificate from them as well.

There are a lot of schools to choose from. I have a second Master's degree from American Public University. They have sports management and history. Some of their master's degree overlap so you could get additional master's degrees by taking just a few more classes.

Thank you I’ll take a look at them, are they more asynchronous , project based or is there zoom meetings / proctored tests in your experience?

You just respond to your classmates every week and you have to submit a paper once a week. No zoom classes.

Would encourage you to look at Fort Hays (State) University in Kansas. AFAIK, they have the cheapest online masters degree in History, but is not education focused. FHU is followed closely in price by the history program at Eastern Illinois University. 

...EIU by the way has an online MA in History option specifically for teachers and it is ranked very competitively. I believe they also offer an optional intensive week on campus in the summer just for teachers/school employees.

For a Masters in Math... or anything generally Education related I might look at the American College of Education (ACE) in Indianapolis. They have an MEd in Math and also offer an online MEd in History... while it is cheaper than EIU or FHU, (under 10 grand) it is not as highly ranked.

All above are online, mostly if not completely asynchronous, and are regionally accredited.

Thank you for your recommendations , they are greatly helpful and I will be looking into them!

The two potentially least expensive online MSCS degrees would be from Georgia Tech and WGU:

https://omscs.gatech.edu/
https://www.wgu.edu/online-it-degrees/co...ogram.html

GT is far more difficult and a lot more work, but it can be spread out over multiple years without affecting the overall cost much. WGU is flat rate per term, so it would be competitively priced only if you complete it in one or two six-month terms (which is achievable).

Basically, I would recommend creating a shortlist of a few and then a backup or two, you can update us within this thread. You can search this forum or the sister board and other online reviews for possible ones that fit your budget, course content, learning style, timeframe, transfer credits, etc. We can further provide you advice on which ones to pick from that list instead of everyone giving recommendations you might have on your list already...

Gettysburg College offers an online MA in American History. It is open to current teachers, Librarians and museum staff https://www.gilderlehrman.org/masters-de...y#par-2728

Each course is $750 or $250 per credit. I believe the whole degree is $7,500.

Buena Vista University has an online Master in Education at $310 per credit hour. https://www.bvu.edu/programs/graduate/ed...nstruction

Southeastern Oklahoma State University is also a great option. Price is comparable to ACE but from a state school. Tuition is $318 a credit, total program cost $9,540. They have a ton of options, Math, English, Science, ESL. It's the one college I found that's cheaper than Fort Hays. https://online.se.edu/programs/education...struction/

I have a MA in history, most programs are asynchronous but expect a lot with regard to writing quality.

I spoke with Fort Hayes a while back, they expect you to really know historiography. I would use caution if you don't have a strong history background. Would 100% recommend the thesis option, non-thesis makes absolutely no sense for a MA in history.
