Has anyone attended an Executive MBA program? Was it worth the cost?
I do recommend that you heavily research potential programs. Unranked for-profit schools will probably milk you for GI Bill money with a weak degree or network after graduation. Find good programs through reputable magazine rankings (e.g. US News and World Report, Bloomberg Businessweek, etc.) and talk to your wife about it.

You can transfer the GI Bill, but if your wife is finished with school and you don't yet have any children, your transfer options will be minimal (or even non-existent). You might want to check into the rules on transferring before making any final decisions.
