Switching from MBA to MSML program wgu?

[dmjacobsen]

Is this possible?

So just started Sept 1, want to switch the MSML will help me advance more in my current position.

What's opinion of msml program? Can anybody give brief run down of required oa and password for each course?

Do I have to wait til March 1 or can I start next month? (Do I have to wait til start of next term or just next calendar month?)

Your student mentor at WGU is going to be a better person to ask. You should be able to switch, but you will likely have to wait until next term. Additionally, you need to look at the courses that you've taken and see if they'll transfer. About half of the MBA courses are the same as the MSML, but if you've taken the courses that don't overlap, you're going to be wasting time.

As others have said, the MBA is generally going to be better. It is more hard skills-focused, while the MSML is more soft skills-focused. While I certainly haven't seen it all, I haven't seen any job listings that prefer a leadership degree over a business degree.

I think the MSML is very appropriate for people in certain positions -- especially public sector -- who just need any Master's to get promoted. Beyond that, you really need the MBA. Yes, everyone else has an MBA, too. But, when the recruiter is using the MBA checkbox as a filtering tool, your MSML is going to get you filtered.

Another option, which may make you even more marketable, is to do both. Knock the MBA out and leave yourself 4 months or so in your last term, then crank out the remaining MSML classes in those 4 months.
