WGU MSML after MBA

[Max13]

I know you can transfer in credits from the WGU MBA, but in general it is easier than the MBA. Other than that I have no experience in taking it, just researching it.

right between my DBA and MBA, it should cover most of the credits for the MSML plus I be fresh off the MSDA so I be ready to swiftly knock out whatever classes I would have left in the MSML if I can do it. I understand the MBA is probably weigh more but it could not hurt to have it on my resume I don't think.

This is five years old but it does say 50% of a masters needs to be done at WGU so with the 4 classes from the MBA...I could max transfer one class in from my DBA and that if they count it. I could still easy do it in one term and if my employer wants to pay for it, that be just 5 classes. Not as nice as 2 classes but still perfectly doable in theory. I plan on asking my employer tomorrow and I talk to WGU about the transfer credit from South.

When I last investigated doing another Masters at WGU after my MAcc with them, Records wrote to me that I could transfer the courses from the MAcc that were the same as in the MBA "or" I could transfer up to 2 graduate courses from outside of WGU, but not both. So, I would be surprised if WGU accepts both the South coursework and gives you the 4 courses as well. And IIRC, didn't the MBA courses change in 2023? I know the MAcc courses changed drasrtically last Fall.

It depends on the major I suppose. Each master degree has a different policy for what they will take in. The last official public document I could find was from 2020 and it did not say there was a limit to transfer but 50% had to be done through WGU regardless for a masters degree. So even if South work, I could not use both. I could not find anything about the 2 classes rule which is weird because the MBA offers 4 classes carryover. Your right though the program has been updated though. Not sure how my current program aligns with the new one.

Found it. Yeah, even if I could get every class but the capstone in for the masters plus MBA carryover, I still need 50% from WGU regardless. So even if I get 4 from my MBA and appeal one more class from my doctorate that still 50% for the MSML. I could easily do that in one term. That if my employer will pay for it. If they do, I might go for it just for fun but not 110% sure yet. I wanted to do the MSDA because it was a goal of mine but I never thought about the MSML other than because of credit carryover.
