What is the cheapest way to get a legitimate Masters in MFC?

You could always borrow the money.

I suppose I could but we have a lot of debt already. Affording the loans or even getting approved could be iffy. Plus it would not be subsidized. I am just hoping there are cheaper ways out there of getting my Masters. Something under $40k would be ideal.

Can you get into an institution where you can get a full ride?

Could you get a job and take courses part time for a bit?

I’m curious how you’re making your calculations. I would estimate a masters degree would be at most 50 credit hours, which would mean that you plan on paying $1,000 to $1,600 per credit hour. That seems high to me.

Move to Canada? Not kidding – it would cost you less than half of that, even if you’re paying international fees.

I know someone who is getting an MFC through the University of Phoenix – distance ed program. I suspect that is cheaper than an ordinary university but she is not very happy with the course.

@janbb University of Phoenix is famous for not being a real university. No one will take a degree from there seriously.

@dappled_leaves I know what it is and don’t respect it but I believe this person feels it will lead to licensure.

Oh dear.
