My master's degree in electrical engineering cost me about $16k total, half of which was covered by my employer. I went to a local state university, it was about $500 per credit hour. I would say that you could get most of the practical value in just taking the 300-400 level undergraduate classes and labs such as circuits, electronics, and controls, but then obviously you wouldn't have the degree!
