Review:

I started WGU in 2008 and have been very pleased.  I teach in Kentucky, where a Masters Degree is eventually required to continue being a licensed teacher.  Being accredited by NCATE, WGU is accepted in KY.  I have learned more about research and instructional design in this program than I learned at a Major "brick and mortar" University for undergrad.  I recommend to people who are self-motivated to work.  If you don't want to study and work, WGU isn't for you.  It is rigorous.  This being said, I work full-time as a teacher, have a wife and two kids, and still am able to make this program work.  I find some of the negative reviews hard to believe, considering how good my experience has been.

Like anything else, you get out what you put in.  I just started my second term and I have found that the program has challenged me without overwhelming me.  I also can feel myself growing more muscular everyday in my job as I put the knowledge that I am gaining straight to work.  I am eager to keep going!

Great Opportunity

Review:

This is a terrific program if you make the most out of it by taking classes they offer and utilizing that information. Most difficult is getting use to the different interfaces each set of classes offers. The mentoring and guidance is phenomenal and I found my mentor available by both email and phone. I am in my third semester and will be finished ahead of schedule. It does require the student to have some initiative and focus as would any online program.
