$78,255.90 ???
oof
even $52,170.60 is way too much
I mean, maybe its a good deal for a PhD in CS --- I don't know, but it just seems like a LOT of money

You're right. It is a lot of money. More than I could (or would) pay. That's not to say that it's not worth it. It might be a great deal, just not for me. I don't know if there's any doctoral degree that would be worth the time, energy and money at this point. I just don't know that it would advance my position sufficiently to make it worthwhile.

I agree with you both considering there are lower cost online CS Ph.D's which I consider would be in the same peer group as UND. One is FAU (34k) and the other is Miss. State. I couldn't get the exact tuition for MSU, but it seem's like <20k.
