I picked the program because it is the cheapest accredited (NA) masters in religion I could find. Total tuition is 3,600 for the entire program.
I have been sitting on this post for weeks not but I am looking for something to try. I plan on pursuing the HAU MBA in the future. However, I keep jumping back to their masters degrees listed. There are a few masters and even doctorate level I am honestly intrigued by.
Was it strictly the masters in religion that was cheaper?
It seems their fees here are off. I cannot seem to get an answer from the department as we keep accidently playing phone tag. They often call when I'm at work or cannot talk.

It is ONLY the MA in Ministry that is this cheap.
That said, I believe the price will be going up to about 4,000 dollars.
All of the other masters and the doctorate offerings are much more expensive...
the tuition page you listed was strictly for in person classes. See the online rates below...

also... they do offer a decent discount for vets and first responders taking courses online.

Thank you! I was browsing and was overlooking the link. I was not trying to hijack your thread. I plan to try and get the HAU MBA but there were a couple of programs I want to inquire for in the future to add to my resume. Thank you for the time.

They are open to all denominations. Primarily online, but the programs may require some short in-person residencies, from what I have seen online.
