What's my best bet?

[study0019]

Hi all, 

I am currently a certified Teacher in Texas with a BS from Excelsior in Business. I have been accepted to 3 B&M universities in Texas for a Masters in Education but wanted to get input from the group on Patten or WGU. The B&M MEd will be 12-18 months so the WGU is very appealing but not sure which on would be a better fit for me. 

I have 15 years of IT (networking) so was looking at the MEd in Learning and Technology from WGU or the MBA w/concentration in IT from Patten. 

Field does not matter that much to me and I will not be in education forever. I basically just want to knock it out as fast as possible. I have a lot of time on my hands so I know I can work quickly. 

Anyone have experience with the MEd from WGU? Can it be completed in four months?

Thanks

If you go to WGU, why not take 5-6 months (1 term)? 4 would be much harder.

Seems like WGU's MS-ITM would be easier for you since you have business knowledge and lots of IT knowledge.
