How much did your Master's Degree cost and which school(s) did you go to for it?

Opportunity cost I believe, per WGU. Smile
MBA, Western Governors University February 2014
BS Charter Oak State College November 2011
AS in EMS August 2010

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

That's amazingly cheap, I am astonished how you can get that for so cheap. Can you explain? Is it for a few courses or the entire program?
I assume you must be transferring the limit of graduate courses into the program or something similar right? Is there a PLA process for MBA?

Look forward to the explanation but hedge that they had a great work reimbursement program or academic/sports scholarship leaving the remaining 3k out of pocket expense. Otherwise, Florida just SHOT up the list for the room! Wink

I graduated in May 2016 with an MS in occupational therapy (96 credits including field placements) for $30k. I began in January 2014 and the program went straight through for 7 semesters.

Yes, because the question was "How much did your masters degree cost?" not "How much did you personally have to pay OOP for your masters degree?"

I mean, I don't work and my husband does, so I guess mine will be free since technically I won't be paying for it? I also live rent free, eat for free, live for free...my life doesn't cost me a thin dime!

My job offers tuition reimbursement which pays up to $1533 per class. The 3 credit courses would only cost me about $200 out of pocket and the 4 credit courses $700. My last two special topic courses would be free since they are 2 credit and 1 credit courses and fall under the $1533.

@dfrecore - 'my life doesn't cost me a thin dime' cracked me up! Prior to launching my own business 3.5 years ago, my wife technically did not have a taxable job but ran the house like a next level CEO. Four kids & me makes that more labor than most traditional jobs for sure. That won't stop me from telling her and the kids tonight that their life isn't costing them a thin DIME but it sure is costing me a MINT!

hahah!! Very true.

I've been debating throwing out a question as to how people paid for theirs. As a home schooling stay-at-home parent, I won't have a place of employment or the Military to help finance any further educational goals either.
