These are all cheaper than a community college credit in MA. Georgia Tech will be offering an online MS in Computer Science for $7K for the entire program. Too bad I don't qualify as I made the mistake of getting an accounting degree. It's disgusting that a year at a run down public university here will run you $16K+ in tuition, fees, books, & supplies. Add in living expenses and it's easily $25K+.
