“My approach to the program is the opposite of what is advertised. Rather than getting through it quickly, I’m taking it more slowly. So I only take one class per semester. That’s what works best for me since I’m working full time. While WAU’s accelerated program offers classes that allow you to get it done in 12 months, it’s not based on the calendar year; it’s based on the number of credits. So you can take the credits whenever you want to take them. You aren’t penalized for working through it more slowly. You graduate with an MBA at your pace. And, that’s one of the values of getting my degree from WAU.”
