If you want to do WGU and then an AACSB MBA, I say go for it if the WGU degree will be beneficial in the short term. A couple of thoughts:
1. Since you are in Texas, you might look at some of the other campuses in the UT and A&M systems. For in-state students, there are a number that are within $1,500-$2,000 total tuition. Might be worth it, particularly if you aren’t in the Midland Odessa area. Good place to start: https://www.geteducated.com/online-colle...mba-aacsb/
2. If you decide you don’t want to do WGU, you could use the money from WGU to invest in a little bit better “name brand” MBA. North Texas certainly has more of a reputation outside of Texas than the public universities other than the flagship campuses of UT, A&M, and Houston. I would imagine the same thing is true in Texas as well.
