However, It took me ~ 9 months. I took a few long breaks between courses and decided to not rush to complete in one term for two reasons.
1. I thought it would look fishy on a resume that I complete a MBA in 6 months.
2. Between the military TA and scholarships, it didn't cost me a dime to extend to a second term.
How would anyone know that you'd completed it in 6 months? Lots of MBA or Masters programs are 9-12 months, so graduating within a year of getting your degree wouldn't be unheard of.
Plus, I'm not a believer in putting my graduation dates on my resume, so I'm thinking no one would know what I did or how quickly.
Many jobs require applications, and some applications require attendance dates. I had one employer ask me how I graduated from TESU in six months. Fortunately for me, I could say that I transferred most of my credits from previous colleges attended.
I've encountered applications that asked for dates of attendance as well. (but my resume does not list dates next to my degrees)
