Recommendations for least expensive online MSW?

CSWE has their own International Social Work Degree Recognition and Evaluation Service

The only problem with that is that you have to complete the degree and submit transcripts, etc. before you know the answer.  Perhaps they would talk to you about previous evaluations as a way to guide your choice.

I did email them.  Got a rather terse, bordering on rude, response that they DID NOT, WILL NOT comment on previous evaluations.

Initially, this struck me as odd... but then I thought about it.  If they admitted that they had previously approved of any school that was not CSWE accredited, then... suddenly some of their leverage to convince schools to go through the expensive CSWE process goes away. The school cannot say "We're not accredited, but CSWE has recognized our degrees in the past if CSWE won't confirm it, and thus, students are taking a risk.

I'm near certain this is a racket/scam to coerce schools into getting CSWE accreditation.  There's no other logical reason why they could not say, for example, "We've had 10 people apply and pay the evaluation fee for UNISA. 4 (or 8, or 10) of the 10 were approved."
