Someone on this board is taking the MBA program and I didn't read that they had any issues, they may not have taken those exact courses from Study.com though: See here - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid261151
Thanks for the response. Maybe Kaskadia will see this and add some light.
Of course I am now second guessing my decision. 3 extra classes isnt't the end of the world but I am 45 and time is not on my side at least professionally. Now I can't help but to reconsider the MBA, especially through WGU. My only challenge to this is the program is un-ranked (I don't care, but people on the east coast in Financial Services do) and I would prefer to get a masters in Finance.
To put it into perspective, I have a client who earned their PHD from Texas A&M in the 80's. When I mentioned this program, the response was "it's online though, right?". The client wasn't being pretentious or condescending, more like, why bother?
I always appreciate the views here, so if you are reading this, please feel free to chime in.
Thanks
