Starting my WGU MSML Oct 1st
#1
Excited to finally start my WGU MSML program this Oct 1st. I am aiming to be done in 1 term (6 months.)

My TAMUC degree/transcripts took forever to be finalized/processed, I finished my last class the first week of July, so heads up to anyone on that program. Took months to get the final grades and degree awarded, I would follow up periodically. 

Excited for this next step!

Congrats on finishing at TAMUC and your next steps at WGU & UTPB. I am looking at the UTPB MBA as well. Did you check the TAMU Corpus Cristi program before deciding on UTPB? They seem comparable programs but TAMUCC costs a bit more.
Is UTPB a better course curriculum, faculty, administration, and branding wise?

Thanks,

I didn't look at TAMUCC. I am considering UTPB purely for the UT name and price.

At TAMUC I was not super impressed with the teachers/systems. Of course for the program I did I would say it was fully worth it, but for a Master's degree I don't think so if cheaper was available, that's why I went with WGU.

Update:

I started Oct 1st which was Saturday. Sunday through Monday I was brought down by a short term illness and couldn't do any work. I hustled back up and was able to finish two courses that required two papers each by today (Saturday.)

So week 1 and I am down two courses. My original goal was to finish 1 class in week one so I am happy that I am going faster.

On the Facebook group for this program people are accelerating it by a lot, some have finished 4 classes already and started Oct 1st, so I like lurking on there to stay motivated.

I not only want to finish this by six months to not pay more, but the sooner I finish it the better so I can pursue other goals I have personally.

You made a good choice by doing the Masters's degree at WGU. The ROI should be through the roof, given the time and money you need to invest.

That is key to research what others have done in those classes to pass quickly. It is amazing how fast some people go in that program.

I'm planning to do the MBA at WGU around Jan 2023. So I would be super happy with 1 class a week.

It's amazing that you have done two classes already. I hope that you keep us updated.

Now that I am in the program I am glad I chose it too, and considering the MBA after since I am having a good experience with the MSML.

I think you will have a great experience with the MBA, I highly encourage you to join the facebook group for the program if you have facebook, people there are motivated!

Well, as a student, you got to decide for yourself if you're into competency based or more of a traditional learning... For those who want Competency Based, WGU is a great option for the MSML/MBA, and for those who want a more traditional option, HAU MBA for a tad cheaper in price can't be beat either. Since competency is more your style of learning, your choice of MSML/MBA at WGU is a great move!

Did you apply for and get the WGU $2500 Back to School Scholarship?

They give you $625 per term, which would lower the cost to $3905.
