Names of a Masters MBA-Leadership VS MBA
#5
Completely agree with everything dfrecore said -- with the exception that there are actually 4 courses, not 3 courses that overlap at WGU, which I list below. But that's besides the point.

The MBA just has a more marketable "brand," and Org. Leadership isn't a substitute for it. They're two different skillsets. But MBAs are what the business world are accustomed to, and it's what they will generally be looking for.

But, like dfrecore, i find OL much more interesting of a prospect that an MBA program on a personal interest level. If it was just the knowledge I wanted and not a particular career outcome, I'd rather go with an OL. But if I wanted a leg up in the business world, 9 times out of 10 the MBA would be the better bet.

WGU's MBA/MSML overlapping courses:
-Managing Organizations and Leading People 
-Managing Human Capital 
-Management Communication
-Ethical Leadership
