I am currently enrolled and finishing my first semestre in this program.  I must say that it is definitely not for the IT novice, as it right away gets into covering CCNA material, then moving on to federal policy and cyber law.  I can definitely see why this program received NSA accreditation, although I am unsure how well this will help in getting a non-government job.

The assignments so far have seemed fairly vague, but there are a plethora of resources available (both in online book format, and in knowledgeable course mentors) that supplement and guide.   It is competency based, which I believe will be great as my previous IS degrees were not -- and I feel I did not learn as much from them as I have from WGU in the past few months.

I will update as I get closer to finishing my degree.  So far I am quite impressed, and the price tag isn't that bad either -- especially given the extent of personal one-on-one and group participation.
