What is the overall program cost and is financial aid available?

Currently, tuition to the complete Online MA in Spanish in the projected two-year time period, not including books and other fees associated with individual classes, is around $10,000 USD. Again, keep in mind this projection is based on current tuition. Remember, tuition prices are subject to change. All-in-all, a pretty good deal for a two-year Master’s degree from a quality university.

Consider this cost-benefit analysis. If, after obtaining a Master's degree, you were to receive a $20,000 a year pay increase, simply for having a Master's degree, you would pay for your entire tw0-year degree in your first year after having graduated.... Again.... a pretty good deal.

As for financial aid, there are many possibilities available. We invite you to visit: http://distance.nmsu.edu/

Click on the Prospective Students link, then click on Financial Aid. All the information you need is there.

Many students also ask if it is necessary to pay the entire amount upfront… the answer is NO. This is a pay as you go program where you pay for the courses you take in the academic cycle that you take them.
