The poetry courses are straight-up extension classes. For the English master's degree, the "earn your way in" option requires two English courses and a proseminar, so the poetry courses can be used for the two English courses.

The five poetry classes now cost $1,000. That's $5,000. The additional seven courses in the English concentration master's degree would probably cost $21,000 at $3,000 a pop. That's roughly $26,000 total. That's not the cheapest price for a master's degree, but it is pretty good. It would cost me about $23,000 because I took the poetry classes at the cheap price. I already have a master's degree, so it is not worth it to me, but it is a pretty good deal.
Also, the scholarship prices can reduce that overall price.
