Let's stir the pot again!
I've reviewed (briefly) 4 or 5 of the final project assignments at this point. I personally do not feel that the effort required for these degrees rises anywhere close to the level of a traditional B&M MBA in the US, or even a course-based online MBA. I believe the workload is closer to a competency-based MBA (based on this reddit thread of what a WGU MBA looks like), with the exception that there are no proctored tests at all, only papers, so there exists a larger possibility of academic fraud.
This degree is probably worth less than the effort most will put into it. I think that most students will put in the effort that it's roughly equivalent to a competency-based MBA, and some, of course, will go above and beyond. However, I also think that the possibility of fraud is too high, further diluting the degree from it's already-shaky Groupon google rankings, and combined with the difficulties of explaining a Spanish postgrad degree on my CV, I will treat this as a learning experience, and possibly an opportunity to gain transfer credit for a US-based MBA program. I will not be including it on my resume, even if I don't go to a US-based MBA program.
These opinions are mine own, and are subject to change.
