Value of having different schools on your resume

I graduated in December with my BSIT from WGU. I am looking at going back for my MSISA. I also want to get an MBA because it will open more doors towards management. WGU seems to offer the cheapest, fastest MBA program I have found.
Part of the reason I want to go to WGU for all of these degrees is that the teaching style really clicks with me, I can get everything done fast and it is not very expensive. I am in Afghanistan and probably will be for the next 2 years so I really think I could knock both of these degrees out in that time. I finished my BS in 3 terms and that was at home with a social life.
I think a BSIT, MSISA and MBA will look great on my resume along with my MCITP:EA, CEH, CISSP, ITILv3, CCNA, A+, Net+, Sec+, VCP.
My question would be how much will it detract from my resume that all of my degrees are from the same school?

OptionsDevilry Member Posts: 668I have had this same concern, whether or not it would be a good idea to get masters from the same school. I can see the benefit from a known B&M, but I am still unsure when it comes to a M.S.
That's why I picked a cheap B&M for future masters. Just didn't think it was wise, but that is just me.
