Did the WGU MBA help you move up

[Yanji]

I would fear an anti online bias in the scenario you put forward. The one place my WGU degree (and my COSC bachelors) wasn't well received was for possible employment at a brick and mortor land grant school.

In his case WGU might make the list, but not the top of it. I would at least consider all the traditional schools first.

I think this is good advice. I'm not sure I would characterize it as an anti-online education bias (many great universities are very enthusiastic about distance education) or more of a bias towards reputable research universities though. I've never met administrators who were more passionate about online education than I did during my 2 years at IU. These days, even traditional full-time undergraduates usually take at least a couple of online courses during their program. I think there will always be some degree of suspicion towards applied studies oriented schools from traditional comprehensive/liberal arts schools, online or not.
