It is a concern of mine not finishing the WGU MSML in one term, because that would kill my entire plan. However, I do have a good track record (finishing my BAAS in under 1 year starting with 0 credits) and I have researched that degree a lot which gives me confidence.

I agree with this 100%. In fact, you have one of the best track records. Nobody should be questioning your ability at this point. The MSML will get you to the next level inexpensively, and you will likely finish in less than six months. After that, take your time and go for any degree(s) you want, or no other degree if you decide. Also, maybe check out the unofficial discord if you haven't yet: https://discord.com/invite/unwgu

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/

I just looked at the details for some of those TX AACSB MBAs on the list freeloader shared  - they are in your price range and the few I looked at said they can be completed in as little as one year.  It makes sense to save the money an focus on getting the MBA you want - UNLESS you can find one that will allow some of the WGU MSLM course credits to be transferred in (and even then it's only a maybe worth it, imo).

Yes, the UTPB one states on their website that you can finish in 1 year. I am in a time crunch, hence why I am pushing for the MSML. The math for the MBA makes me nervous and makes me feel like it would push me to use up more time.
