Completing a M.S. IT Managment, then going for MBA in IT

[youreonaroll]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew the transfer rate (if any) for completing an M.S. in IT Managment at WGU, then going and getting an MBA IT at WGU.

Do any of the M.S. IT Managment classes transfer over to the MBA? And if so what classes? Thanks in advance!

None, the two programs do not have any overlapping classes as opposed to the MBA/MSML, these two have about 5 overlapping classes. So that means, you'll have to complete one degree and then the other, unless you can find acceptable options for transfer, it would be cheaper, easier, faster to complete at WGU for everything. Here's the previous thread and it includes my comments/posts: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...degree-WGU

There are a few course pairs with only slightly different names that you might want to check with WGU whether they would transfer, like
Power, Influence and Leadership 3 1 in the MS-ITM toward
Managing Organizations and Leading People 3 1 in the MBA-ITM
and Project Management 4 3 in the MS-ITM toward
IT Project Management 3 1 in the MBA-ITM.
