No degree to MBA-HR in 20 months - Nodaclu's Progress Thread

[dfrecore]

The good part about WGU is that you can do a bunch of courses through the course providers listed here, and then enroll and take the rest at WGU.  So you could complete the degree in a single term if you were motivated.

List what you have completed, and I'll do a WGU plan for you if you want.

Also, as stated above, you don't have to have UL courses for the BSBA Core - only 4 courses that are UL for the AOS.  So no worries there.

So the main issue I see for WGU is that they have a roughly 25/75 split for gen ed's/major, and you don't have enough Gen Ed's, and zero of the major courses.  So you are REALLY far away from the degree there.  It might be discouraging.

If I were you, I would take all of the courses you need for both degrees, and then make a decision at that point: You'll be really close to the TESU degree, but I calculate that it will end up costing more.  So you can choose then, whether to go for it and just finish the degree; or whether it's worth it to take some additional courses through WGU, get that PHR, pay less overall, but it will take longer.

So take Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Speech, Business Law, Prin of Management, Org Behavior, Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Prin of Finance, Prin of Marketing, Macroecon, Microecon, International Business, and Project Management.  Then, take a breath, and look at what's left of both degrees, and the costs for everything, and re-evaluate.

Oh yeah, take 4 of the classes at SL - that will get you a discount at WGU if you opt to go there (I wouldn't recommend Econ as it's WAY too long there).  Here's a spreadsheet:
