Description
The program is perfectly suited for those who can devote 15 to 20 hours per week to their studies, and ideal candidates include unlicensed substitute teachers, career changers, retired military, and others who feel the call to teach. A 2008 USDLA (United States Distance Learning Association) Best Practices award recipient, WGU offers its students an affordable, NCATE and regionally accredited online education.
This program is appropriate for someone who (1) already holds a bachelor’s degree with an extensive interdisciplinary studies background, (2), wants to become a certified elementary teacher or middle school generalist, and (3) desires to earn a master’s degree. The M.A. in Teaching (K-8) combines teacher licensure and a master’s degree in a program that educates you to become a highly-qualified teacher and includes supervised practice teaching in an actual classroom setting. As a master’s degree, the program also includes additional training in research as well as instructional design and performance improvement.

I would definitely recommend WGU! After separating from the military and moving around the world with my spouse, WGU is the only university I have found that is very accommodating to military/spouses. I currently work in a school and even the Principal and Vice Principal have heard of WGU and ...

I am in my first sememster or term of completing the coursework necessary to begin my Masters in Education. I cannot believe these bad reviews. I checked with my local school district about this school and how they regarded a person who obtained a degree from WGU. They said that they were very highly regarded. They are also not very expensive when compared to other schools. I am happy and very impressed despite the other negative comments.
