WGU MS ITM review

[posabsolute]

I wanted to provide a last update on the MSITM.

I just freshly completed the capstone, and to be honest, it kicked my butt quite hard, not in terms of complexity, but in terms of length, it's 2 papers, about 30 pages and another one of 20 pages. They give you a skeleton that gets you through all the sections, block by block.

It's not a research project, it's basically proposing a fake project and doing a post evaluation. The issue for me is that it is heavily grounded in PMI methodology, I'm just not a fan and found it extremely tedious. I saw some people say it's completable in a weekend, I'm an accelerator and I don't see any way this would be possible.

I come out of their program thinking it is quite accelerable with a few gotchas (the 2 exams and capstone), keep at least 1 month for the capstone. It's a good option for a check in a box master, although I sometimes wonder if I should have done the WGU MSDA, but I know there is no way this would have been possible in 1 term (in my case) and this was a big concern when I chose the MSITM.
