If you have a strong math background, GO FOR IT!  WGU would be a great value!!

I am in my 4th term.  This program has suited me very well- I have a strong background in math and have been able to really accelerate my program- this school is a great option for folks that want the degree and already know alot about the material.  You pay by each 6 months- if you can squeeze in lots of credits, you can save a lot of money, I have!

If you need alot of math review, you will probably struggle in this program.  Mentors have to limit what they say about specific tasks- the point is to learn it yourself.  That is frustrating when sometimes the suggested 'materials' do not cover what is needed for the tasks!  I've had to do lots of research outside of what is provided.  Thank goodness that I have a friend with a high math degree that can help point me in the right direction.
