Most students will tell you that they would gladly enroll in a management course if the costs weren’t completely out of a reasonable bracket. This is especially difficult if you’re looking for a management course at a graduate level.

However, online management education is a lot better in this respect. Courses are tailored to suit a whole range of students from all kinds of backgrounds, and so you’ll find that there is an online management degree at every level for any kind of a price range.

$12,000 is the general cap put upon an online management degree. This can be eased with financial aid, however, there are also schools that offer courses at a lesser cost. Here are a few cost-effective online management schools for you to choose from.

Western Governors University
Accreditation cannot be overlooked when it comes to affordable online management degrees and the WGU has two accreditations to speak of – NWCCU and DEAC. The school has a whopping 8 options to pick from at the Master’s level with various levels of specialization within management, and a really good Bachelor’s course in management to pick from.

The undergraduate tuition caps at $6,070 and the graduate program is only slightly higher at $6,790. This is easily the top most affordable online management degree out there.

University of Maine at Augusta
With the regional accreditation by NEASC CIHE, this public school isn’t exactly the most affordable one with an annual undergraduate tuition of $16,688. But what does set it apart is the 100% recommendation rate it’s picked up over the years and the school’s sole dedication to undergraduate studies in management programs.

You have 7 Bachelor’s degrees to pick from in Management and another 3 Associate’s degrees for those looking to get a glimpse of management. There’s also a certificate/diploma program.

Union College
Another college with a 100% recommendation rate, UC is accredited by the SACSCOC. The school has one each of a Bachelor’s and Master’s program – with the Master’s being a lot more affordable at $9,530. The Bachelor’s science degree in general management is truly unique and one of a kind with a cost of $24,000.

However, financial aid is available to those who apply for it so you’re sure to find some support. And yes, federal financial aid is extended to online management education, despite what most people believe.
