But fronting the initial cost of the degree can be challenging, with the costs of some programs totaling tens of thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of dollars. For those seeking more inexpensive ways to earn their MBA, Fortune has compiled a list of the 25 most affordable online MBA programs. This list was compiled using data provided by schools for our Best Online MBA Programs list. For schools that provided the cost per credit instead of the annual or total tuition, we multiplied cost per credit by the number credit hours required to graduate from that program. This ranking was last updated September 2022.

But earning a doctorate degree requires a big investment of both time and money. So Fortune has ranked eight online Doctorate in Education (Ed.D.) programs by affordability. Tuition amounts were compiled using data provided by schools for our ranking of the best online Ed.D. programs in 2022. If schools did not provide the total tuition cost of the program, we multiplied the cost per credit amount by the minimum credit hours required to graduate. Cost per credit amounts were either provided by schools or taken from the program webpage. This ranking was last updated December 2022.
