B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (K-8)

One of the governors that founded the school was from oregon. I guess yes. I would contact schools and universities depending on what you want to do with it.

i am interested in the interdiciplinary education teaching program. my main concern is getting a job. i live in nevada now and may move to the midwest later in life. do you know which states do not accept this degree? was finding a job relatively easy for you?

Hi! I was looking into the school to become a educator... I'm wondering and really needing to talk to someone how has went to this school. I livein West Virginia. It would be nice to talk to someone who has graduated from this WGU. I'm currectly signed up for Shepherd University. I'm just worried that WGU is a fake school. I will be just wasting my time and money.

I am from TX,  I am interested in signing up for the B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (K-8),  Needing to get feedback from anyone that has already graduated from WGU especially individauls who resides in the state of TX but any state will do. 
Thanks In Advance

I am interested in pursuing this program online but have read conflicting information, specifically as to whether this program will be accepted in Oregon. Is there anyone here who knows or has investigated this?

It's clear from all the comments that WGU works well for some people and not so well for others.  I hear the same said at times about the Big 10 school and Big East school my husband got his BS and MBA degrees from.  That said, my experience overall was positive.  I had 2 mentors, I found some tasks easier or harder than others, I had policies change while in the program, but in the end none of that delayed me and I'm happy overall.  Wisconsin has some of the most demanding teaching licensing requirements in the country, but when I was done and submitted my application all went through smoothly.  My host school for demonstration teaching commented that WGU was the most organized, but also most demanding of paperwork they had ever worked with.  They were amazed at how thorough WGU is.

This school has been great for me! Working full time, having children and a military spouse, WGU has allowed me to work on my time. Yes, DODDS has hired teachers that have completed a WGU teaching degree. I will be student teaching in Sep, with a DODDS school in Germany. It is a challenge due to being able to procrastinate, but that is my own fault. WGU is all what you make of it. It does not do the work for you. You must make the effort.

Has anyone graduated from WGU and become a (Department of Defense Schools) DODs Teacher? I am a military spouse and want to know if DODs highs graduates from the school.

I love WGU my mentor is wonderful. I struggled the first semester but with her help and her support i could not ask for a better school. I would not want to attend a school that is not NCATE and WGU is it too me a longtime to find a school that I was proud of and I finally found it. I am proud to say that I am a student at WGU and is looking forward to getting my degree in Special Education soon. Way to Go WGU. I will stand behind you 100% you have been there for me and helped me as i progressed in my studies.

I am thinking of signing with WGU and live in Pa.  Has anyone from Pa attended this school and what was your experience?

I just started at WGU in May, after doing a lot of homework about online schools.  The program for education is NCATE accredited, and as someone who has been through the NAEYC(NCATE for pre-schools) accreditation process I know how difficult it is to obtain.  The program is not for someone who isn't able to learn on their own.  There are no professors, the materials are made available to you and it is up to you if you learn it or not.  The credits are not handed to you, you need to do the work.  Things may get confusing at times, but the community boards are a great place to get answers to questions.  My mentor, Wanda, is wonderful.  I am so happy with WGU that I've convinced my husband to sign up.  He's on the phone with his mentor as I write this.

I find this school to be amazing. I am learning and futhering myself and Schools are already making offers and have a year to go. Anyone who fails at or quit with WGu, its because they want or wanted to.

My wife is a teacher who has a bachelor, master and specialist degrees in early education. I hear people complain that WGU is busy work.When she was going to "a brick and mortar" school all her degree programs required busy work.It's part of any program!

I am thrilled that I found such as high quality education at such a reasonable price!  I am self-motivated and a quick learner.  I learn best visually, so WGU works for me.  For those that learn best aurally (by hearing) it might not be a good fit.  I love that it is completely self-paced.  Each task is broken down into steps so it is not overwhelming.  I've met many great students that I email with on a daily basis.  WGU goes the extra mile in preparing students for state certification.  Here in California you cannot do student teaching through a district unless you are part of an accredited college like WGU.
