I am back... Let's just say Patten or Amberton weren't really working for me as far as completing an MBA. I didn't like the structure at all.
Question my fellow WGU graduates/students. (I hope Rebel is still around)
Proctured Examinations for the MBA Program?
Are the Tests/Quizzes timed?
Can one really finish within 6 months? Believe me, I am one that loves to accept a challenge.
Thanks,

Check out passit1's journey; she started the WGU MBA program on 3/1, and is just waiting for the capstone to be graded right now. She was a BEAST getting through it, but shows that it certainly CAN be done in 1 term.

There were no exams when I took the MBA, it was 100% writing for me.
There are still a lot of folks managing to knock this out quickly Passit1's account is a good read. Someone else knocked out the whole thing in like 4-5 months, I can't recall the user name right now though....worth looking for as they laid out their methods.

Rebel nice hearing from you again.
Thank you for the quick response.
No exams? It's weird because I see some WGU MBA reviews and they advise some classes had exams. I guess it differs for the MBA program?
Also can you confirm what is your typical page length in submitting a paper. Is it like 8+ pages?
Thanks

The MBA program had some big changes shortly after I finished back in 2014, prior to those changes it was almost completely writing based. (they have changed it back and forth several times over the years).
My papers varied in length dependent on what was being asked...they did tend to run long though, there was a LOT of writing for me. An 8 page paper would have been thought of as pretty short.

I think you're talking about me. My description can be found here: http://www.degreeforum.net/graduate-school-discussion/25231-wgu-review-my-experience.html
I think it answers all of the posters original questions, if not let me know.

You might want to review this thread too, it's got lots of info and previous links to others who have completed the MBA.
