WGU master's completion
At a glance
Last updated
The WGU MBA is 11 courses (34 competency units): Managing Organizations and Leading People, Managing Human Capital, Management Communication, Marketing, Accounting for Decision Makers, Ethical Leadership, Financial Management, Data-Driven Decision Making, Operations Management, Global Economics for Managers, and the MBA Capstone. Coursework Ninja completes every assessment on a written plan: papers and analysis tasks written to the rubric, the business-simulation capstone sequenced early, remaining CUs finished in 6 months or you do not pay. The master's package is $3,500 flat. ACBSP-accredited program; we are independent of WGU.
WGU's official MBA path is 11 courses across four standard terms if you crawl. Managers who finish in one six-month term do it because the assessments clear on a calendar, not because they found free evenings. The load is almost entirely performance assessments: leadership papers, marketing plans, financial analyses, and a capstone that launches a business inside a simulation.
We supply the execution. You keep the job title; we produce the submissions, run the revision loops, and clear the simulation capstone on a written schedule. Weekly clear targets are sized for full-time managers from day one. Remaining CUs finished under the agreed plan in 6 months, or you do not pay.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
Managing Organizations and Leading People, Managing Human Capital, Management Communication, and Ethical Leadership: the paper-heavy front of the degree. Each submission is mapped row-by-row to the rubric and revised until the evaluator clears it.
Accounting for Decision Makers, Financial Management, and Data-Driven Decision Making: the quantitative middle managers postpone. We complete the analysis tasks and any exam path the course carries, on the weekly list.
Marketing (including a strategic plan deliverable), Operations Management, and Global Economics for Managers: completed as graded work instead of parked behind easier courses.
WGU's capstone launches a new business from the ground up inside a business simulation, plus a personal brand and career plan. We scope it at intake, run the simulation work early, and close revisions inside the plan window.

Course map
WGU's published standard path lists 11 courses and 34 competency units. Graduate students must clear at least 8 CUs per six-month term; finishing all 11 inside one term is how the one-year MBA math works. Course names below match the official program guide, and every code is verified against the August 2026 WGU institutional catalog, which renumbered the whole program (legacy codes in the table, new subject codes in the notes). Assessment labels reflect the course type (paper, analysis, or simulation); exact task mix can shift by catalog year.
| Course | Assessment | Where students stall |
|---|---|---|
| Managing Organizations and Leading PeopleC200 | Paper (PA) | MGMT 5000, term 1; first leadership paper; managers stall decoding the rubric language |
| Managing Human CapitalC202 | Paper (PA) | HRM 5010, term 1; talent and performance-management paper; easy to over-write |
| Management CommunicationC204 | Paper (PA) | MGMT 5010, term 1; persuasion and conflict tasks; often the first revision loop |
| MarketingC212 | Paper (PA) | MKTG 5000, term 2; strategic marketing plan for a product or service |
| Accounting for Decision MakersC213 | Analysis / exam | ACCT 5000, term 2; financial statements, budgeting, cost decisions; quantitative stall |
| Ethical LeadershipC206 | Paper (PA) | MGMT 6000, term 2; ethics framework paper; short but easy to leave for later |
| Financial ManagementC214 | Analysis / exam | FINC 6000, term 3; capital budgeting and valuation; the classic MBA quantitative wall |
| Data-Driven Decision MakingC207 | Analysis / exam | MGMT 6010, term 3; stats and quality tools; managers without recent math postpone it |
| Operations ManagementC215 | Analysis / paper | MGMT 6020, term 3; supply chain and process design; dense but finishable |
| Global Economics for ManagersC211 | Analysis / exam | ECON 5000, term 4; macro tools for managerial decisions; often saved for last |

Certifications and transfers
WGU states that many graduate programs transfer little or no prior graduate coursework; individual courses or certifications may transfer in some cases, confirmed by an enrollment counselor with your transcripts. A verified bachelor's degree is required for admission. No GRE or GMAT. Published tuition is $4,805 per six-month term plus a learning-resource fee; the one-year MBA path is two terms if you clear the full load. Our $3,500 completion fee is separate from WGU tuition.
Career outcomes
The MBA is a salary lever, not a job title: it moves working professionals into management and senior individual-contributor roles. BLS medians for the most common MBA destinations are below.
| Role (BLS occupation) | 2024 median pay | Projected growth 2024-34 |
|---|---|---|
| Financial managers | $161,700 | 15% growth |
| Advertising, promotions, and marketing managers | $159,660 | 6% growth |
| Management analysts | $101,190 | 9% growth |
Figures are U.S. national medians from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook: 2024 median annual pay and projected employment change from 2024 to 2034. Pay varies by state, employer, and experience. What happens after a WGU degree: employers, salary surveys, and the already-employed vs career-changer split.

The plan
Months 1-2
Managing Organizations, Managing Human Capital, and Management Communication submitted early so evaluator feedback shapes the pipeline. Marketing and Ethical Leadership clear alongside them.
Months 3-4
The quantitative middle: Accounting for Decision Makers, Financial Management, Data-Driven Decision Making, and Operations Management. Capstone simulation scoped and started in parallel.
Months 5-6
Global Economics closed out, MBA Capstone simulation and personal-brand deliverables finished, remaining revisions landed, buffer weeks protected. Finish date in writing.
Guides
Eleven courses, 34 competency units on WGU's published standard path: nine 3-CU courses plus a 4-CU MBA Capstone. Graduate students must clear at least 8 CUs per six-month term. Clearing all 11 inside one term is how students finish the advertised one-year path.
For many students, yes. WGU's flat per-term tuition means finishing in 6 months instead of a year saves a full term of WGU tuition on top of our fee. We confirm fit for your remaining list at intake and put the date in writing before you pay.
WGU's capstone is a business simulation: you launch a new business from the ground up as an entrepreneur, then also develop a personal brand and career plan. It is 4 CUs and sits at the end of the standard path. We sequence the simulation work early so it is not fighting your job in month six.
We do. Our team produces each submission against the rubric and drives the revision loop until it passes. You approve scope and dates in writing before work starts. See our PA help page for how rubric-aligned writing works.
The master's package is $3,500 flat with the written 6-month guarantee. Stacking a bachelor's and the MBA back to back is $5,500. A single blocking course starts at $99 with a fixed quote first. WGU's own tuition ($4,805 per term) is a separate bill.
Often little or none. WGU's published transfer guidance says many graduate programs transfer few individual courses; an enrollment counselor confirms against your transcripts. Even without transfer credit, competency-based pacing lets prior knowledge accelerate the assessments you still take.
Yes, and it is the most efficient path we offer: one combined plan, one CU order across both degrees, $5,500 for the stack. Most students who plan to do both lose a full term starting the MBA fresh; the stack plan avoids that reset.
Revisions are part of the pipeline, not an exception. The evaluator's comments get mapped to the rubric sections they reference, the draft is corrected against them, and the resubmission goes back inside the same weekly cycle until it passes.
WGU renumbered its catalog in 2026. Every MBA course kept its legacy code and gained a new subject code: C204 is now MGMT 5010, C215 is MGMT 6020, C211 is ECON 5000, C214 is FINC 6000, and so on. Same courses, same 34 CUs. Students still search the legacy codes, so our course pages use those and note the new ones. Every one of the 11 MBA courses now has its own completion page: C200 Managing Organizations and Leading People, C202 Managing Human Capital, C204 Management Communication, C206 Ethical Leadership, C207 Data-Driven Decision Making, C211 Global Economics for Managers, C212 Marketing, C213 Accounting for Decision Makers, C214 Financial Management, C215 Operations Management, and the C216 MBA Capstone.
