These two programs are similar but definitely have some distinct difference in terms of course requirements. Is one degree and/or school considered superior just in terms of attractiveness to employers?

The more I look at these programs, the more I think perhaps my son should proceed with the BS at WGU and then get his MBA at Patten if he's interested in continuing.

Yeah that is bizarre. Especially since they only offer online degrees now so why even draw the distinction?

@KayV - was it mentioned they had Online on the diploma or was it on the transcripts? Thought it was the transcripts. If on the diploma that is really odd.
Was curious so I did a search: Transcripts show Credits Online. Never really felt that to be odd but it created 3 pages of responses so I guess it is a bigger deal than I am connecting it to.

When doing some job searches the BSBA degree was more common. Since humans are becoming more robotic and keyword oriented I'd say business admin would work best.
MA in progress
Certificate in the Study of Capitalism - University of Arkansas
BS, Business Administration - Ashworth College
Certificates in Accounting & Finance
BA, Regents Bachelor of Arts - West Virginia University
AAS & AGS
