Yeah goals?,...its generally a heavy lab and research grad degree. Also not a common one either

		Does it have to be from the US? And can it be in something slightly different?  Here's one I looked at a few years ago: 
https://veterinary.rossu.edu/postgraduat...one-health
Here's the post I referenced it at that time, pricing most likely changed, it shouldn't be $9K anymore:

		Indiana State University's 
online MS in Biology appears within budget.
University of Saint Joseph (Connecticut) has long-running serious online 
MS programs in each of Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Nutrition appears within budget.
Michigan State University 
offers online an MA in Biomedical Laboratory Science or MS in Biomedical Laboratory Operations that appear a little above the top of this budget, and several affordable relevant graduate certificates including Managing Biomedical Laboratory Operations.
