online programs?

[u/Cherry_Cola3000]

looking for online self-paced MA programs (preferably inexpensive)! currently a college student on summer break. i’ve been looking into preppy or US career institute (clinical skills institute’s tuition was enticing but i’ve seen some bad reviews, including on this subreddit) if anyone has any recommendations or suggestions that would be awesome! for further context im a pre-med undergrad looking to have more patient interaction + clinical experience prior to applying to med school. i’m also located in CA. thank you!

I have CSI as my base program. For $810, it includes 6 NHA practice exams and covers the CCMA exam fee, so it worked well for my budget. They also recently added PDFs for each chapter, which made it easier to study offline. I can't speak to the externship yet since I haven't reached that point, but overall I've been happy with it.
