The disappearing middle finger

I would like to take one math course at a time at the graduate level, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I don't think I can do two courses at a time because for math, it would just be too much, especially online where I can't talk to the teacher in the classroom and who knows how often they will be available. And I have to work, of course.

The biggest issue is the cost. To take one course at a time is probably the most expensive way to do it. 

I know that Emporia and Northwest Missouri State University are usually recommended here, but I wasn't sure if anything has changed. I don't want an education degree. The University of Texas Permian Basin also has a math program now at the graduate level. 

Between all three, the cost isn't that different from what I saw.

Curious about what other people are doing.

Kind of a shame it costs so much to attend an out-of-state college.

Do you still read books or use AI to summarize them?

Was scrolling reddit the other day and I found a post that was talking about affordable schools and I found a link which is a database of community colleges that offer bachelors degrees. A lot of these schools have fully online bachelors as low as $179 a credit and possible lower if you live within that state.

Thought It'd be useful here for anyone not looking to do CBE.
