Planning for next steps after BSBA: MBA+MSML, MBA+Grad Cert, PhD?

[Merlin]

I'm debating my next steps after my BSBA is conferred. I really enjoy learning and now that I've got the degree bug, I want to make sure I can earn credit for the learning I do. I'm a planner, so I like to understand my options and have developed a decision tree for each of them to make sure I don't miss out on opportunities. So I'm thinking a bit further ahead than I probably need to.

In any case, I have been planning to head to WGU and complete both their MBA and MSML degrees, but the more I think about it, the more it seems like a waste of time and money to get two closely-related business degrees from the same low-ranking business school, even though I could do both fast and cheap. I'm more interested in the MSML but the MBA will probably be more useful.

So, I've been debating whether it makes more sense to just focus on the MBA from WGU and then work on a leadership-related graduate certificate from a well-known school like Wharton, Harvard, or Cornell to make my academic history look a bit more prestigious since WGU is relatively unknown. A grad certificate is fairly close to the time and cost investment of a second masters degree from WGU. It isn't as nice as an MBA degree, but I'm not about to drop $200K for a Wharton MBA, assuming I can even get in, and I don't want to spend two years getting it.

I want a business master's degree because it will reinforce what I've already learned as an entrepreneur and business manager. However, the degree will also be helpful to me in my career when doing consulting, adjunct teaching, or when a new employment opportunity arises. So I'm debating what looks better, particularly given I already have a strong professional background in tech. Because of that, it's hard for people to see my business acumen.

Additionally, I'm planning to apply to the Georgia Tech OMSCS program. I don't know if can get into that program, but if so, that would be my next step after the MBA is complete. I'd mainly be going that way because I enjoy the subject matter and it would be a feather in my cap career-wise. An MBA and an MSCS would be a perfect complement in my career since I leverage both areas concurrently.

I'm also considering a PhD program after I complete a masters. If I go for the PhD, it wouldn't be with any specific goal other than, perhaps, to open the door to teaching down the road when I'm no longer interested in traditional employment. I've been looking at a DBA or PhD from a school like Cal Southern, Heriot-Watt, U Cumberlands, or Northcentral U. UoP has a DBA and DM (Management) program that I find appealing, but that school is tainted in many eyes, so might not be worth consideration.

Technically I could also start a PhD right after the BSBA via Heriot-Watt, though that would take a lot longer than two masters programs via WGU, and I think it would be more beneficial to get at least an MBA done first since I should be able to easily knock that out in 3-6 months.

I'm interested in opinions, particularly from people who've already been down a similar path and continue to be interested in advanced degrees.
