My Grad School Thoughts - Masters/PHD

[Ideas]

You know, I'm looking at Patten and WGU and I'm trying really hard not to go for Patten...

WGU year cost 7500$. No way I can do it in 6 months..
Patten 8 months cost 4000$
Patten has no capstone, no group work
But..
Patten is a for-profit :/
Patten reviews are average..

You think you can definitely finish in 8 months? What about 2 months of self-study and try to finish WGU in 6 months?

I think many of Patten's mediocre and negative reviews are from students who want more instruction and less self-study.

My tentative plan is Patten, but I can't decide on a concentration yet. I am interested in 3 concentrations. I would try to do 3 months of self-study before enrolling, and complete in 4 months. I would make sure to have less going on in my life. I feel that because of having the BSBA knowledge, 4 months is doable for me even without studying in advance.
