Good info. After many starts and stops, my husband is considering getting back on the school wagon. He looked at the program ONLY because of the Purdue name. But overall, I think he's going to go with WGU for several reasons, price and the for-profit aspect being important to him.

But it seems like it could be a good option and anything to avoid the Kaplan name.. even if there are many negatives associated with it.



Edit to add: I do worry any time a non-profit becomes part of a for-profit. Before doing my MBA, I seriously considered Thunderbird since they were very well known for international business. But the price was a bit steep for me and the travel a little much to manage. I am SO glad I didn't do it. I was shocked when they went for-profit and then I wonder if it's only a matter of time before the shenanigans begin. We'll stick to non-profit even if we recognize that there are good for-profit options out there.
