Masters of Science in Management and Leadership

[Mikevalek]

Still talking with a wgu advisor. She brought up today the possibility of pursuing and Masters of Science education in Leadership and management instead of an MBA. I am not too familiar with this degree, any success or horror stories with this degree? Is it as widely recognized, respected, and worthwhile as an MBA?

My background I have been in banking now for over 8 years. Love every moment of it, and I am currently an assistant manager looking to move up to be Branch Manager.

Now, I am already doing stellar on the work front, but getting that extra degree (since all my competition has bachelors) will put me over the edge.

I a. Motivated by incentives, production, and a successful team. I have a strong desire to show a degree that displays my capabilities.
