Since you want to teach full time at CC, I'm assuming you'll need the normal 18 graduate credit hours in the subject area.
I'm guessing you've already looked at TESCs online Masters programs (which have comparable tuition to most Masters programs, being somewhere in the $400-700 per credit hour range).
You'd have to ask your school whether or not the MA Math Education at WGU would be considered adequate for teaching at CC since it's specifically for teaching k-12. If it would work, they're a great school to work with. The only IT degree that they have that might get you the 18 credits would be the MS Info Security & Assurance, but I don't know whether or not you have an interest in security. Their other IT degrees are more business and management focused. If you want teach business or accounting they have degrees in those areas that are good too. If any of these work, they are potentially some of cheapest of the options inside the US.
There's also the online Masters of Computer Science collaboration thing between Udacity and Georgia Tech, but it's so new that I don't know a lot about it. But I do remember them saying it was like $7000, which would make it a great price if I'm remembering correctly.
Since you have a degree in economics, you might look at the University of North Dakota and their Applied Economics Master program. Tuition is the same regardless of residency state, which is a plus.
Iowa State has some decent online graduate degrees, the one that caught my attention for you is their Master of Business Analytics program since you said you do data analysis that might be easy for you. Tuition is about the same as UND.
American Sentinel University also has a business analytics degree that is on the lower end at $495 per credit hour.
If you want to go the Math direction, Texas A&M has some online graduate degrees, and two Math options, one of which specifically says for K-12 and CC teaching (which makes me wonder about whether or not that means the WGU k-12 math would also work for you). Anyway, your profile doesn't say where you live, but if you happen to live in Texas this is downright cheap, if you live out of state it becomes middle-ground at about $630 per credit hour.
Kind of hard to know what to look at when you have options to go multiple directions. Do you know what you want to teach?
