I’m wondering if anyone has done a bachelors at COSC and then applied to wgu for their MBA program? We’re you successful? Did wgu have an issues admitting you into their MBA program?

Um, yeah,... WGU is NOT competitive at all, they will take COSC bachelors degrees without issue as a requirement for entry to the Masters. But say for instance you get a BSLS with NO business courses as you decide on taking the easy route to get a majority of Liberal Studies courses, then I suggest you to think clearly what you want to do with your undergrad OR to supplement your undergrad.

Thank you! Honestly I have no real direction. I’m interested in so many things and the MBA would work perfect for me.

I feel the need to qualify that statement a bit. WGU is not a competitive entry university, but they do have entrance requirements for their degrees and they never waive them. They're sticklers about it.
Luckily, the MBA (and MSML) entrance requirements are pretty easy to meet. You just need a bachelor's degree and documentation that shows "at least three years of significant experience in business, industry, or at a nonprofit organization." Some of WGU's other degrees have more challenging entrance requirements.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
