I'm reaching out to the WGU admission contact we used last year. I'll let you know if I hear back (we tend to have a new contact each year).</div>

We're also recommending the WGU MBA pathway to BAS Management students, so I'm interested in hearing the solution to this issue. I know we've had a few matriculate and I'm not aware of any additional foundational courses they needed to take. </div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hi folks,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Does anyone know the best way to reach someone at WGU who can address a discrepancy in admissions eligibility information that two of my recent graduates are receiving? Both completed their bachelor’s in management in June 2024 with
identical BAS coursework. One started their MBA in August. The other is being told they need to take additional classes.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Any guidance on how to address would be much appreciated. </p>
