In a sea of similar online MBA,MS & MA programs, it was cool to come across a pretty affordable offering of some unique MA
degrees at Claremont Lincoln University.
Ethical Leadership
Interfaith Action
Social Impact
Each master program consists of 10 courses ($500 per unit). 4 of the 6 are the same in each degree and they are part of what CLU calls their Claremont Core[URL="https://www.claremontlincoln.edu/programs/claremont-core/"]Â: [/URL][URL="https://www.claremontlincoln.edu/programs/claremont-core/"]Mindfulness, Dialogue, Collaboration, Change.

Based on what I have been able to read so far, the school is making some nice efforts to bring a significant value to the Southern California communities with water, food & youth education projects.
My wife told me last night "Here we go, I can see your wheels turning for another adventure'! I told her I was just reading about them an hour+ for 'fun'

Growing up in Pomona I spent a tone of time in Claremont & it's cool to see the historic colleges still doing well and new ones (CLU 2011) starting up with a value purpose. Glad to hear the cosign on the professors. Reading through the faculty shows they all had some nice & interesting backgrounds.

Claremont Lincoln University has a few new MA programs.
Master of Arts in Civic Leadership
Master of Arts in Healthcare Leadership
Master of Arts in Human Resource Leadership
If you are not a fan of 'Leadership' in a program, please continue on with your day For those open to a unique MA for 15k, that is made up of 10 courses, definitely, check into CLU.
I still have the interest to do their Masters of Arts in Social Impact or at least The Claremont Core courses.

Instead of MA in Social Impact I would recommend to you to check out Arkansas State University MPA program. The MPA can be completed for around $10,000 and they now have a non-profit mgmt emphasis that is essentially would give all the MA in in Social Impact and more if getting involved in nonprofit work is your passion. 15K is nothing to sneeze at but perhaps you have funding at work or military. Looks like a cool program so do you.

Thank you and thanks for the suggestion - I will definitely take some time to review the program. 15k to you is as it is to me and I agree that it should be given to a worthy cause. Even though I own a business, I contemplated the idea of working some night shift or super early 4-hour shift to gain access to a tuition reimbursement program but I am pretty spoiled to not have had a boss for some time and think it would be tough. However, having someone support my school projects would allow me to explore a lot more of these great programs out there
Next chapter of my life's passion is focused on establishing a non-profit with a core focus on inner-city youth development through mentorship. I have been very fortunate to have had mentors throughout my career and have always carried the weight of one day circling back to provide similar value to as many kids as possible.

With that said, the MPA program might give you the skills you want and cheaper. There is grant writing, fundraising and nonprofit marketing classes. Seems perfect for your goals and it is a reputable state college not just online only. 7 week courses make it a decent pace as well as 5K cheaper than your school. I am just cost conscious for schools particularly if there is not a guarantee job lined up like a nurse practitioner masters or similar.
