Review:

I found this "university" and thought that my prayers were answered in being able to get a Bachelor's/Teaching Certification online.  Enrollment counselor contacted me immediately and talked up all the perks and wanted to get the ball rolling immediately, as did I.  DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE.  The information they give are half truths and selective.  I did research and found out that My state board of teacher certification, Texas by the way for all you Texans, will not recognize a Bachelor's Degree from WGU!  This is information that an Enrollment counselor from that university should know!  She did not, or either did not volunteer that she knew, and I was almost done with the process of enrolling.  CAUTION, check with your local State Board of Education to see if they accept this school before you get sucked into their program.  You will save yourself a big headache...not to mention a bunch of work for a useless degree.  Ratings that are higher than 1 are because either I didn't get far enough to experience those things.  The only one that is rated that I did experience besides the 1's was value, the institution is cheap...but you get what you pay for.
