My Grad School Thoughts - Masters/PHD

[BearEDU]

I kind of go back and forth between WGU or Patten MBA, WGU feels a safer bet, with a clearer path, altho it will perhaps take 2 terms and is almost double the cost.

Haha, that's what I tell people as well... the reason I wanted Hodges was for their MIS program, but I can't start it until May. So, that's out of the question. For the others, I would recommend calling in ASAP, like today to see if they can get admitted... otherwise, choose Patten/WGU. It's an easier choice now for me, instead of three schools, it's now dropped down to two. The Hodges is an "in between" MIS I wanted to get before heading into WGU's MBA IT (when it gets ACBSP).

For BearEDU, If you're looking for a good Masters program and competency based, you may want to take the WGU MSML in 1 term. A few members are taking it and some have finished it already in 1 term for cheap/easy/fast. You can take a month or two off and start it in April, after you have been conferred and graduated from TESU. They will not admit anyone until they have paper in hand - I think Hodges is the same thing, they're both very strict on all rules/regulations in regards to any policy in their catalog.

Yea I'm going to call in tomorrow. I'm trying to avoid having to to do a capstone lol but it seems like a single capstone paper is eaiser.

is the MSML easier than MBA? I see that MSML requires you to work with a business it seems for the capstone

Nice I see no math in the msml lol I feel better now and it's close to a MPA.

Thanks, I feel less stress about Hodges now seeing this option. I'm not sure about patten cause I read mixed reviews about it. I just know WGU has a huge reputation it was actually the first school I looked at years ago.

What's your opinion between the two? Regarding course work and ease?
