In recent years, online degrees have bridged the financial and geographical gap for those wanting to earn a degree. I've compiled a list of top schools offering budget-friendly online graduate degree programs that cater to diverse needs and career aspirations. Most of these schools are not faith-based, but each has a reputation for providing quality education and ensuring their programs are accessible to everyone. Whether you're looking to advance in your current field or embark on a new career path, these schools offer the flexibility and affordability you need to achieve your educational goals without breaking the bank.
The schools in the list below:
Are fully accredited
Have a tuition rate of $600 per unit or less
Offer low tuition or in-state tuition/no out-of-state tuition rates for online students
Feature more than one online degree program
Vary in being on a quarter system or semester system
Please take time to check out the various degree programs at any school that might interest you. I have endeavored to list the most recent tuition rates, though it is still your responsibility to investigate all aspects of the schools and their programs.
If you want a graduate degree in ministry/theology/biblical studies, check out my blog posts about 100% online ministry/theology masters degrees in the USA, overseas theology graduate degrees, and distance learning grad degrees in New Testament studies.
The list will be updated as I learn about schools offering new programs.

The question of whether technology can replace intimacy sparks debate. With advancements, the sex machine is becoming more lifelike, offering satisfaction without emotional effort. Yet, human connection, love, and affection go beyond physical pleasure. Machines may enhance experiences, but they can never fully replace the deep bond and emotional intimacy men provide.
