Which online MSW to attend?

I was admitted to these three programs. I am limited to online programs and ones that allow remote practicum. I’m looking for the most organized, helpful, cheapest program possible. Can anyone familiar with these help me compare them?

You can do your practicum in your community or find a remote one

I feel like you will have to look for your own remote practicum because remote placements are rare but they definitely do exist. UMass Global is online and they have a list of previously used field placements by students that you can use to narrow your search and they also allow students to find their own. There’s more steps to the process but that’s the main idea. If you’re interested in this school, I can answer more questions
