WGU MBA IT Management - The Journey from the Beginning to the End

Thanks!

I looked that up last night as well after seeing the initial message. I also did some web searches and from what I gather it seems like the WGU text uses the TI BAII Plus for some of the examples, but I didn't see any HP examples (for 10bII or 12c). That probably doesn't matter but it could make things easier.

In any case, from what I can see via web searches people recommend the 10bII and 12c for bachelor's level accounting & finance courses and recommend the HP 17bII for more advanced stuff like MBA coursework. But then again, others say that excel is more useful for MBA material and any calculator will work for the calculations on exams. Of course, those comments are not WGU specific, but MBA courses in general.

I'd love to use my TI nSpire CX, but its the CAS version. Not sure why CAS matters outside of algebra; business classes will mainly use the financial solver and that is not CAS based.

All of the textbooks for my undergrad finance courses used the BAII in the examples as well. Some professors also gave examples in excel, but BAII was by far the norm. My undergrad work was online from a B&M school, and the publisher was Cengage. I've also seen a few McGraw textbooks with the BAII calculator.

I would wait to see what calculator your textbooks use before purchasing one.
