Masters at WGU if I plan on Doctorate?

5502george

I am planning on attending WGU for either the Masters in ITM (Info Tech Mngmt) or MBA. Having said this I am worried that attending WGU might hurt my chances at eventually obtaining my Doctorate from a traditional school. Does anyone have any input or experience on the subject, or have any insight as to how a masters from WGU looks to transfer to higher education (Doctorate) institutes.

WGU is regionally accredited. The only problem you might run into is that WGU uses a pass/fail grading system for all courses. You will graduate with a 3.0 GPA. My advice is check with a few schools that you are interested in and see if they have any issues with WGU transfers.

That was considering that issue as well if I pursued a Masters with WGU. I was tossing the idea of attending Capital College for Masters in Information Assurance and then moving on to Doctor of Science in Information Assurance. I was unsure whether Capital would accept WGU's Masters in Information Security & Assurance as a graduate degree towards their doctorate. So if I do go to Capital for an MSIA, I would consider WGU's MBA in IT or NCU's MBA in Computer & Information Security.
