Update

I haven't talked about my school situation in a while because I have been working hard to transfer to another University and the journey has been filled with frustration. I was suffering while enrolled in Cal U's MA Teaching program. I could no longer attend a 'university,' which did not have my interest in mind. I took 21 credits at Cal U and probably should have transferred earlier but very unfortunately, those credits could not be transferred into another University Education program at the Master's level, at least at a University that is affordable for me. I spent $470 per credit at Cal u (plus $1300 in fees f#**$#&&$) so I wanted something a little cheaper.  

After talking to lots of universities and having ridiculous problems in getting my transcripts sent everywhere, I decided to switch to a Master's in Education program. I no longer want the Master of Arts teaching certification. I am more interested in developing competent curriculum. So I finally settled on another online program at ........Capella University. Woohoo! They charge $444 per credit and there are no fees!!!!

I entered their Master of Science in Education program with an emphasis on Curriculum and Instruction. The entire program is 46 credits (11 courses). I felt awful about having spent all that money on 21 credits already and none of it being able to transfer, however at Capella, they are currently offering a $3000 scholarship for this particular program. Additionally, they provide the option of doing self-paced professional development courses online which can replace three courses, reducing the cost of the program by $3,500. So at least I am getting $6500 back in a way.

update: as of 2/17 - I was able to transfer 9 credits from Cal U the Incompetent to Capella.
