My Grad School Thoughts - Masters/PHD

[bjcheung77]

I'm going to apply to them later, I am taking a 3 month Leave of Absence from work to travel.  I am not in a rush to get a Masters (I think it's the highest education level I will go for now, not aiming for a Doctorate/PHD anytime soon).  If I want to apply, I may want to apply to 3 Masters program at the end of the year or March 2018 (whenever I feel like it, after I come back from my travels).  

These are the Top 3 choices for me and will suit anyone with a Bachelors (any major).  Hodges MIS (no entrance requirements but a Bachelors) OR Hodges MPA (IACBE secondary/programmatic accredited), WGU (MBA - 6 months for $3500) OR Patten MBA (4 months at $1900 or 8 months for $3800).  Patten maybe the cheapest if one can finish in 4 months, but for those who are "slower", it's cheap at 8 months.

Patten Tuition: anyone got a corp discount code for $1900/4 months? http://patten.edu/admissions/online-tuition/

The Patten MBA has 7 concentrations, I am thinking of going for the Finance option
