WGU has a MA in Teaching English & Hodges has a MA in Visual Communications - we could think of these as a stretch or a creative way to secure a master degree at a great value and fast. Spend the extra time crafting how you navigate your resume (your story).
Visual Communications is a major stretch. It is basically graphic design (for advertising). During the degree you have to build a portfolio of computer design work using Adobe Creative Suite. Hodges says if you are full-time you can complete it in 2-3 terms, but it seems like it could be hard to do in 2 terms.

I find business classes interesting and easy

That's another reason I'm interested in an MBA. I'm more interested in degrees without a big project. I don't mind research and writing much, but right at the end, I would be wanting something quicker if possible. It's only a small consideration for, however.
