Granted, I haven't dug very deep in the WGU policies. So if I'm wrong about having to pay full freight through them, please correct me.
The important thing to understand about the WGU system is that a semester starts on the 1st of any month and runs for 6 full months. In that time you can complete as many competency units (credits) as you like. I took three months off eight in the middle, but should still have 1/2 the degree done in the 1st semester. If your at all motivated 2 semesters should be a very realistic goal, and it's possible to complete it in 1 semester.
Having experienced it first hand there is no freaking way I would go back for 60 more hours of undergrad to get a business degree...it just makes no sense at all.
Have you filled out your FAFSA? I wouldn't normally recommend loans for a degree...but if your determined you can be out in 1 year with around $7500 for an MBA...it's one of the rare occasions when I think the benefit of the loan might outpace my disdain for debt of any kind.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
