Graduate Political Science Credits - TINASAM - 01-12-2026
Regionally accredited, USA.
Must be online. Prefer a grad certificate of 18 credits, will look at anything about 12 credits. Will entertain a full master's degree too.
This needs to be 400 and under per credit hour. I think there are some in the 300s out there, I just have to find them.
Honestly this is a cost thing. I need the cheapest source of RA polysci classes online. Thanks!

My first recommendation would be an MPA from Arkansas State. 36 credit degree, $350 per credit (including all fees). Courses have POSC course codes/course numbers.

I haven’t taken courses at the school, just basing that recommendation on the price.
Are you good with the courses having public admin course numbers, eg. PADM 5XX?

Would second the recommendation for A-STATE
RE: Graduate Political Science Credits - TINASAM - 01-28-2026
Looking at A-state, thanks!

Would the new MA in American Studies at UMPI be helpful?

I've been bookmarking 18-credit graduate certificate programs and see that I have two in political science.
