Okay, I'm thinking about doing their MBA. Then I can do a Masters in something that I really want to do.
I know it sounds weird, but it fits my situation. I've been in Health Care Admin at a director level or above for 30 years, just need the paper. I would rather do the WGU MBA in a term, but can't come up with the upfront money due to some extended-family obligations that I have taken on. The U of the P $200 a course works for my cashflow/budget.
It looks like they have five 8-week terms in each year. I'm not into defined terms, as they make me crazy, but 8-week terms I think I can do. The MBA is cheap, but not really that fast unless you really do 2-3 courses per term.
So, I'm looking for a couple of pieces of info:

So, I'm looking for a couple of pieces of info:
- Has anyone actually taken the MBA courses?
- If so, how rigorous are they? Can I take 2 courses per term? 3 courses per term? I'm not looking for easy learning, I just don't want to have to do heavy loads of busy work.
- What are the end of course exams like?
- Has anyone actually finished the MBA program and can comment on the experience?
- Has anyone actually finished any degree there and can comment on the experience?
