Master's difficult/expensive to get?

[dfrecore]

Thanks for the info and degrees. I'm thinking things over, and... 

Compared to undergraduate degrees, where credits can be taken somewhere else and transferred (such as from Study.com, etc.) rather than taking courses directly from the university, and therefore making the cost of the degree much lower, master's degrees aren't the same at all—you can't really transfer from Study.com and others, but need to take all credits from the university itself? Meaning you need to pay a lot more and study a lot more as well?

So, would it be accurate to say that master's degrees, at the lowest, cost around $9000 ($250/credit)?

I would say that if you can find one for less than $10k, it's a good find (not counting competency-based schools, none of which have the degree you want anyway).
