MBA from WGU

[Vle045]

In general, you can’t transfer credits that were already used for a previous masters degree. I can’t say that with 100% certainty but from what I understand, it’s not allowed per accreditation standards.

The free certificate from Thunderbird is a good starting point. (Link in my signature). If you do all five courses, you can apply for transferable credits. This is new, so no one has done it yet.

Ace.edu has low cost courses. You can get an MBA through them or take courses to transfer elsewhere.

Thank you. Well classss have same description or very similar to content. Also website talked about courses being able to transfer but it doesn't specify which ones or how many. For example,  many DNP programs state that they will take 3 courses versus others are none and some up to 50%. Same for MBA in other schools if preexisting masters is obtained. Usually there is a cap though.

Interesting, Aspen University is on show clause for a few good reasons, they're also NA... I've looked into them before, and even applied to their MBA about two decades ago. I haven't recommended them since joining the board, as you can pretty much get RA equivalents for the same price. For transfer credit, you'll have a hard time unless the institution you're going for accepts NA credits, thus your reason for a WGU MBA.

Depending on the classes you've taken, the names of the classes, and the course content, I think you should be able to transfer in the max possible (I believe it's either two or three classes). Even if you don't get any transferred over, you should be able to complete the WGU MBA within the term, it all is on variables such as commitments, study habits, time management, etc. Good luck, you'll be fine going with WGU MBA...

Yes I am aware that Aspen is NA instead of RA. I personally didn't care as it was very rigorous program and I gained a lot of knowledge.  I applied to Walden so I will see what I can get approved. Im literally in between a second MS vs DNP. ?  thanks for advice!

You’ll want to double check with the school.  I recently was in an info zoom call with Eastern University about their programs.  Someone asked about credits from a prior Masters that would overlap.  They said that credits earned for another (completed) Masters degree cannot be transferred or they would lose their accreditation.  So, unfortunately they would need to take the similar courses if they want a second Masters.  I really don’t know if that’s a universal rule or if it varies, but it makes sense.  It’s a bummer for sure.

Yeah, tell us how this goes, I'll be curious as to what you decide on... Either way, good luck! You just need to take some time to decide which would provide a better ROI/Value and for getting into future positions.

For an MBA, perhaps the free/cheap graduate certificate from ASU would be a good source of graduate credits?

Hi,
