I am so glad this adventure is over with. The experience of going through all the courses and the material really helped fill in a lot of knowledge gaps. I can finally stop doing course work and relax! If you are considering an MBA program and don't want to spend a ton of $ I would consider WGU. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I am smoking a fat Carrillo short run and plan on having a few beers! It's not official but I have no more course work and all my courses are completed. Nothing pending.

    So I can transition into a business role eventually. I enjoy both sides of the house, IT and Business. This made sense for me, I am currently a business analyst and want to continue to do so. It helped me get my current position.

    Wow - I am very impressed. It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that we were discussing if you should bother to pursue an MBA. Don't forget us when you are CEO of a big company.

    Well done indeed!

    Congrats! I have a few questions regarding your experience.

    1. How difficult would you say the classes/tasks were?
    2. How long did it take for you to complete the degree?
    3. During interviews, how have employers viewed the degree?

    @Yuck
    1. How difficult would you say the classes/tasks were? On a scale 1 - 10 some of the classes were around a 3 - 4 and some around a 8.
    2. How long did it take for you to complete the degree? ~ 1.5 years
    3. During interviews, how have employers viewed the degree? Great, they love the fact I have an MBA. It puts the interviewer at ease knowing I have the concepts. They usually talk to me at a little higher level now, which is great.

    ptilsen This last 1.5 years have been brutal. I haven't had much free time, it's been a real marathon/grind. Now that it's unofficially over I am so relieved. I plan on focusing strictly on work and my family life. More vacationing is in the picture as well. BTW No more degrees for me, ugh that was enough, when you get older it's very hard to get motivated. Take it from a 37 year old who graduated his first time in 2000.

    Thanks gang! I appreciate the warm reception. I recommend their program, it really helped me fill in a lot of knowledge gaps. I wish they had a MIS program where you could take 3 - 4 more courses and get a MIM or MIS as well. O well. Still very content!
