Western Governors University

I am an Air Force officer nearing military retirement and am finishing my second 6-month term at WGU. WGU is an excellent value for students with full-time jobs who can only work on their studies at odd hours and weekends. The education I've received so far has allowed me to speak on an intelligent basis with the Principal and host science teacher at the local high school during my WGU-required "pre-clinical field experiences." Looks like I'll be able to student teach at this school as well. WGU hasn't been easy but the learning materials and academic mentor support to date have been excellent. Comparitively low cost and NCATE accreditation are pluses as well.
