Review:

If you're looking for a quick, easy degree you don't have to work for, you'll be disappointed in WGU.

If you're looking for a degree you work hard to earn and you can be proud of, and if you are capable of thinking and performing at a graduate level, WGU just might be the school for you.

I absolutely loved it. My only regret (I did both undergrad and grad school at WGU) is that they do not offer doctoral programs. However, I certainly had no trouble getting into a doctoral program as a WGU grad.

I would select this school again.  Very inexpensive and regionally accredited.

Its your approach.

Review:

There seems to be a mixed review of the school itself.  I truly believe that if you are not satisfied with the school before you start, then don't go.  If you feel confident in your ability to maximize resources to your benefit and use the topics covered to study and learn from, then you can truly make something out of it.  For all the "brick and mortar" graduates here, I would put you on the same level.  I know plenty of people who attended traditional schools that don't have a clue what is going on and it is the same for online.....I have done both and from several online courses and inclass room from the University of Houston, local community colleges, and distant online only.  All are the same....all have successfull people that will use their education to benefit themselves and there are also those that will complain the whole way through.  From my experiences WGU is excellent.

Review:

I began WGU on August 1st. Boy was that a disappoint. From day one it has been horrific. First I had to PURCHASE an electronic "book" that was $30 some dollars. There are tons of "cases" in them. Then all of your assignments are tons of ESSAYS. First is like a 3 page essay, then a 10 page essay and it keeps going up! I did not have a teacher like I thought I would have. You teach yourself everything. What am I paying for? Someone to grade my papers. Then my whole "plan" got screwed up. I was majoring in Business, to obtain a Masters. But when I logged in one day, it had me majoring in Elementary Education and all my curriculm based that way. It took forever to get it changed. Things kept getting worse, my mentor quit, etc, so I decided to withdraw and put my money towards a local college that also offers online accreddited degrees (indiana wesleyan). I withdraw right after a month of attending. NOW They are coming after me for almost TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS! This is incredibly insane. I will not pay that. I never got the service to pay for that. It was ridiculous!  I also spoke to employers and they said they do not consider that a "reputable" university. I know it might sound nice, I sure thought it did, but I certaintly changed my mind after "trying it".

WGU is best for independent learners!

Review:

I've read several reviews that speak to the lack of guidance at WGU.  If you need a professor to tell you what to do, and when to do it, WGU may not be for you.  If you’re an independent learner that understands the steps to competency in a subject, and can assess when you’re ready to test on a subject, then WGU is the perfect fit.

WGU offers helpful mentors and a vast array of material.  It is up to you to decide how much or how little you want to use.
