I see that WGU is not AACSB accredited. I wonder how or if that affects the quality of the MBA?
I know plenty of people around here in Seattle who look at WGU Washington as another diploma mill from which they would never hire a graduate.
For myself, I am exploring WGU for my MBA program, but am keeping my options open. I like how inexpensive it is compared to even most state business schools, and I like that I could complete it in less time than normal.
What I am concerned about is acceptance should I put it on a resume. Has anyone had a problem with prospective employers or not gotten promoted because they had a WGU degree? Does anyone even care? I'd love to get into a mid level management position here in Seattle, and I know an MBA will go a long way towards that goal. I just don't want to have to explain it to the educational snobs in my state.
