According to the SJSLIS website, the fees for the San Jose Executive
MLIS, which is taught online and essentially similar in design to the
upcoming online MARA degree are listed as follows:
"Executive MLIS students will be classified as Special Session
students and will select the "off-campus" option on the CSU Mentor
online application form. Fees for Executive MLIS courses through
Special Session are $399 per unit, $1,197 per course, or $16,758 for
the degree."
I don't believe the cost will be over $2000 a course. If you have a
question, please contact Lori Lindberg by going to the following
website and completing the email form:
http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/email/email.php?fac=lindberg She is the one
who designed the program and can provide the correct information.
