What did your Master's degree cost you?

I will be starting an RN to MSN in nursing education program through Grand Canyon University next week, and I don't already have a BSN so this will probably cost more than you're looking for, plus the fact that online classes are more expensive. But I've been told that my entire 36 month program will cost approx $25,000.

I just applied for my MSN through Indiana Wesleyan University (I obtained my BSN through them as well) and for the 22 month program geared towards teaching it is approx $20,500. That includes ALL textbooks and tuition and the program is online.

Masters cost? Was really blessed- I moved to CA. Got state residency. Worked part time and got nurse "trainee-ship" for 400.00/month. I got my masters degree tuition free. Might still be a good deal, you should look into it. I know the california schools charge more now- state is not in good shape, but I think it's still cheaper then most private/state schools elsewhere.

Thanks everyone for answering. I am looking at around 15k for a master's and that seems to be about right.

I also don't have a BSN. I did have a BA and an ADN. I went through Cal State Dominguez Hills in their on-line program. 3 1/2 years for about $9,000. The last year was paid for with federal funds because I was earning an MSN in Nursing Education. I graduated this past May and am workinf as a full time instructor and loving it!!
