New WGU MS in Management and Leadership

[publius2k4]

Of course you'll want to think about this - do you want to have to explain your MS for the rest of your career?

I'm OK with that. As it stands now, I'm already going to have to explain my BS for the rest of my career.

I don't know, I think the "MBA" is still the principle qualifier for all things business. What will employers think? how will others view your degree?

With that said...the hardest courses in the WGU MBA appear to have been eliminated in this degree. No Finance, no Decision Analyses, no Supply Chain...I think this could be a degree plan that would allow you to move through at a cheetah's pace...you could bang this out in 6-12 months I bet.

You're right. The courses are easier, and I could complete it faster (several of the courses are objective assessments).

I honestly don't think that the MBA would hold much more power over the MS in this instance, since WGU does not have an AACSB accreditation.

The way I see it, if this degree holds me back, I can always return and complete the MBA.
