MBA vs MS in Leadership

[jessikalauren]

I'm not speaking from experience (yet) but I suppose it depends on what you'd like to do with your degree and what you like studying. I've followed the posts of many people who have posted here (ransomsoul especially, as well as dfrecore and sanantone, etc) and my plan is to start with the MSML degree at WGU.

I had essentially decided I would do the MBA, because it seems to hold the most weight, but my last few business courses in my undergrad were especially tough on me. Since I plan to run straight into a grad program I am going to do the one that has more writing than testing. I'm not saying I'm not willing to put in the hard work to reach the finish line, but at this point in my life (I'm 30, married and work 60+ hours) it will be nice to have the master's degree on the resume.

Like another poster mentioned, the MBA and MSML at WGU overlap by almost half, so students often pursue both. That's my plan (in the back of my mind of course, I also really want to be done with school) because I like the idea of having two master's degrees for the time and money cost that others will spend on one.
