WGU MSML and MBA

[allvia]

Hi All,  Im planning to start grad school at WGU, but I know you can complete one program than the other by adding 6 more courses. Has anyone done this? Anyone recommend which order to do it in..MCML first then MBA or vice versa? I work in higher education so a Masters is a must for me to move up anywhere at our University or be considered for a pay bump.

Considering the field you work in, I would recommend that you stick with a US RA school and pass on the ENEB as an option (it's still muddy water at best). Either WGU degree will always get you more respect than a degree that was offered on Groupon. I certainly hope no rational person here would argue that simple point; no matter what value it may offer a limited few. As far as the MSLM vs MBA - if an MBA will serve you better, then go direct for it. If it doesn't matter what the master is in then go with the one that offers the coursework that interests you more, and you feel can be expedited for a single term finish. Historically here more have reported completing the MSLM in a single term than the MBA, but being competency-based your professional background could make either equal.  I don't see how getting both adds anything in the way if ROI, as they are too closely aligned in AOS.
