Best and cheaper online program for MSN in informatics

[hfaith]

I was wondering which online school (Walden, Excelsior, Univ. of Phoenix, etc.) is the cheapest in tuition for Masters of Science in Nursing for Informatics? I am currently in the process of applying for an MSN-informatics program online and so far I have inquired with Univ. of Phoenix and their 18 month program will cost me a total around $25,000. If anyone knows a school that offers this degree online and it's cheaper.. please reply back to the thread. Thank you!

Check out University of South Alabama. It's a traditional university with an online MSN Informatics program. It's seems pretty reasonable.

I looked at the Hopkins program suggested, 36K for one year doesn't seem very affordable.

I too would love to speak to someone about this program who has gone through the entire thing. I have so many questions about how it's run and what is required.

WGU offers an RN-MSN and a BSN-MSN in Nursing Informatics. Tuition is approx $3400 per 6 month term. They also offer other programs that are not specific to nursing, e.g., BS in Healthcare Informatics and MBA in Info Tech Mgmt or MS in Data Analysis.
