Advice Needed - Competency-based graduate degrees that allow acceleration

[priceaction]

That's a lot of 'quoting' going on there... Had to go down the page quickly to get to the next post... Anyways, you can again do a mix or match of your liking of the trifecta (certs, degree, experience) and balance it out as best you can... You're best off doing the WGU one and done, since you're doing the MBA/MSCIA from them, it would be overkill to do another Masters elsewhere.  Maybe slowly take some freebie Coursera/Edx classes that you're interested in while waiting, take up a book or sport...

"take up a book or sport..."

Gee thanks.
