If you're going for a WGU Masters, it won't matter which one you go with. In fact, some people may want a "one and done" solution, meaning you can do the BSBA and MBA/MSML at WGU and call it a day. WGU programs are ACBSP, so you know they've gone through at least some quality/quantity checks and extra hoops to get their programs accredited... I would look at the overall degree requirements and what courses interest you most, pick something such as a concentration you're into...

Even if someone cares, it's going to be AACSB, EQUIS, or AMBA they cared about. No one in the real world gives two hoots about ACBSP.
It's going to be AACSB and then ACBSP. EQUIS only has 5 US schools and AMBA has 2, so if you want to talk about nobody giving 2 hoots, I'd go with those.
The main issue you will have with AACSB is if you're getting an AACSB MBA, they're going to want an AACSB BSBA - and if you don't have that, they're going to make you take some additional courses (I think I've seen them add on 9cr). Some ACBSP programs will do the same for non AACSB/ACBSP business degrees.
But WGU doesn't care, so it really isn't going to matter for the OP at all.
That's an amazingly Ameri-centric statement. The world is not the US.
It’s not at all Ameri-centric if we are talking about a US resident attending a US school for the purposes of working in the US. If one has no intentions of working globally, then it doesn’t matter what the rest of the world gives two hoots about.

Yes, because we are in America. The OP is talking about going to US schools. Why would international anything even come up in this instance?
