PhD versus 2nd Masters

[TMW2010]

My doctoral program is only slightly more than what my M.Ed. cost, though I will say that ended up going a somewhat expensive route with the Master's because I thought the perks outweighed the cost on it.

I'm going to UC, which Sanantone mentioned above and it runs about $350/credit or something like that, runs 66 credits for the PhD or 60 credits for the EdD, and allows for 18 credits (taken after a Master's degree) to be transferred in. I'm running around $22k for my degree (not including books), but if you've already got more than one Master's, you can shave off 18 credits of cost. My M.Ed. ran about $19,500 but that included all books and an iPad. While the B&M portion of the school may be ultra-religious, I haven't really encountered that in my online coursework, but I'm only wrapping up my second class. In Sept, I'm going out of program to wrap up my area of specialization through the UC Psych department and I'm doubling up on classes for the next two semesters to get that knocked out. Besides, it gives me 18 official grad Psych credits so I can teach undergrad Psychology classes when the mouthbreathers in school credentialing departments don't understand the scope of my M.Ed.
