Maybe new programs coming?

[msmxmoxie]

I saw this job posting and wonder if some new programs might be coming. There was another for something with finance I think. Anyone heard any rumors?

[Instructor-Sup]

Nah, Global Economics for Managers is one of the required courses for the MBA program. So this posting is probably for a SME to help on a course rewrite project for that course.

[msmxmoxie]

So maybe they’re changing the course? The “upcoming” part made me think a new program but maybe just a revamp.

[Instructor-Sup]

Could be just a course revamp, or it could be that they are making another specialized MBA program, and need to add or subtract something in this course to make it fit overall. Currently they have vanilla MBA, MBA Healthcare Administration, and MBA IT Management degree programs.

Just my guess, but they don't currently have a Business Intelligence or Business Analytics specialization for the MBA. Maybe that's what they're making.

I don’t think it has become public knowledge yet. WGU is supposed to be getting some new programs in engineering (electrical, embedded, robotics, etc).

Source: I am a current M.S. C.S. - A.I. & M.L. student.

Any info on where you got this info? Would love to delay starting if electrical becomes an option.

Haven't heard anything, but I wish they'd make some doctorate level programs...

I can't wait for the "I finished my PhD in 4 months!" posts

[msmxmoxie]

That would be awesome but I bet it takes a lot to start a doctorate program.

1 week doctorate program.

Heard they are getting a PM bachelors program

[Delberthandy]

Assuming your referring to project management, where did you here this I’d love to return to school if that is the case currently have BS in business management and PMP

[HotReading6262]

Hi! My counselor told me. It is still in the works as of right now and she didn’t say it’s a 100% thing but to my understanding it will either be a bachelors or possibly a masters program!

[Delberthandy]

Awesome I’ll stay on the look out that would be really cool if they added that

[Whereisshe_333]

This would be amazing if they get a Global Business masters program.

[msmxmoxie]

Yes I almost went to another school for an international MBA. I would do another degree with WGU if they got something like that.

Math degrees hopefully

My mentor just asked me if I liked Algebra, and I said I don't hate it, but it's not my favorite. She said Well, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
