This is amazing. I was going to go to WGU once my BLS was conferred in the upcoming weeks, but now I think I will just wait until fall and do the MSB Finance or Supply Chain. Wish Project management was going to be one of the first 4 cause I would do that but Finance or SC should do just fine for my goals.

@Samhain408, Are you going from the BLS to MSB directly, or are you thinking of doing the MAOL first and ladder towards the MSB?

I'll go directly to the MSB. I think the roughly 9 month break would do my mind some good. I completed 10 courses in 3 weeks for my BLS so I welcome the delay before the program starts. I just hope it really hopes it starts in Fall like it's stated. I sent my advisor a message asking if there will be a waiting list because I want to be in the first cohort.

Nicely done, I did 7 in the session as I'm somewhat slow at typing and writing what I want to communicate... If you have tuition assistance or reimbursement plus the energy/time to get things done, I would have recommended the ladder from BLS to MAOL, then rest the summer months, and start the MSB in the fall...

It will be interesting to see if UMPI will allow a student to complete multiple master's degrees. Some colleges are really picky about this for some reason. Just take my money! LOL

I wonder if they will allow multiple concentrations as well. I would like to do the MSB Finance and Supply chain concentrations first which would be 18 courses total. Then come back in 2026 and do Project management and Healthcare management which would be another 12 courses so should meet residency.

Residency is based on the number of credits a degree requires. Master's aren't 120 credits so the residency shouldn't be 30 credits especially when many master's are only 30 credits and they accept transfer credit and wavers from undergrad courses completed at UMPI.
