Cheapest RA CS/IT graduate program that accepts my UoPeople CS Bachelors?

[durain]

Hello,

By the end of the year, I will hold a BS in Computer Science from University of the People. I would like to get a Master's from a more reputable regionally accredited institution, so I'm starting to research my options. I'm making this post as a preliminary measure to figure out which direction I might start looking.

I took advantage of many Sophia, CLEP, and ACE-Coursera certs throughout my degree, so I'm worried about that possibly affecting my chances of getting admitted to a Master's program; I did not let them water down my degree, for example, I tested out of computer networking class using Google IT Professional cert, but then I went and read a networking textbook because I didn't feel competent in that topic.

I am interested in Computer Science or Information Technology degrees, focusing on software development or cloud engineering. My motivation for pursuing a Master's degree program is to add further validation to my qualifications and maintain eligibility for internship programs. I should have applied for internships the entire time I was doing my degree, but I failed to realize that until the end, so I will only have about nine months of internship experience.

For a long time, I was not eligible to fill out a FAFSA because I had student loans in default, but I was a beta tester for the recent Biden student loan forgiveness and managed to get mine cleared before the courts put a stop to it, which means I can fill out a FAFSA again!

What are my cheapest options and most advisable approaches? What things should I consider as I go about researching this topic? I'm unsure if I want to take out student loans again. If WASC accredits them this year, I might just stick with UoPeople. I know people dunk on it for the peer assessment, but honestly, it works for me, and I feel that I learn well from a self-paced, self-disciplined, flexible style of education. However, I want to consider every option.
