As the 45 cheapest online master's in educational technology in the entire country (based on data from the U.S. Department of Education's College Navigator website), these schools' tuition rates are all below the cost of a standard college education. Not only that, but more than half are available for less than $1,000 a credit hour! For your convenience, we've sorted them in descending order of cost, with the least expensive school at #1, according to the hourly, online tuition rate. In cases where only the quarterly or semester rate was available, we have divided that rate by 6 (standard full-time graduate enrollment) and placed them accordingly on the list.
Unfortunately, only a limited number of master's in educational technology degree programs are available
online. Therefore it was not possible to compile a pool of options large enough to justify a
multifactorial ranking system in which scoring of colleges and universities would be based on a list of
specific considerations.
So instead, we ranked the programs solely according to their affordability.
See below for the best cheap master's in educational technology degrees online, ranked from least to most
expensive, according to their per credit hour online rate, along with several useful facts about each
program.
