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.

Affordable online graduate degrees provides valuable insights for those seeking flexible and cost-effective higher education options. However, for students struggling with specific subjects like algebra, additional support may be necessary. In such cases, services that offer to take my algebra class for me can be a practical solution. These services provide expert assistance, ensuring that students can maintain their academic performance while managing other commitments. By leveraging such resources, learners can navigate challenging courses more effectively and stay on track toward their educational goals.
