I'm thinking ahead to certificate renewal (I'm certified in WV and my license expires in 2024). In my state, we have to take 6 hours of masters level courses or free, state-provided PD courses. They're all a pain in the butt, time-consuming, and honestly, at least right now, I don't have the money to pay for a masters (or the desire to do it).

As haha mentioned. DoDEA requires 6 semester hours anyway (every 6 years). You can also increase your pay with MA+15, MA+30, or go ahead and get your PhD (Ed.S. is a pay column stateside).

Many people use Liberty University for a degree. University of San Diego is the one that DoDEA often uses for providing graduate credit to the classes offered for professional development. Just make sure whatever you do provides college credit and not just continuing education hours.
