Bad Bad Vibes from WGU (and an Intro of sorts)

[Life Long Learning]

At several Ivy Plus schools, only wealthy students pay sticker price. Ivy League schools aren't the best example of student loan debt since their average debt is less than that of public and for-profit schools.

Hard to compare these colleges with such different end results? 
 
WGU's graduation rate is only 14 percent after SIX years.

I didn't know that WGU's graduation rate was that low, but WGU is dealing with a more challenging group of students. However, I think their model is mainly the cause of the extremely low graduation rate because TESU's is around 40%.

Some of the Ivy Plus schools might have questionable admissions practices, but it would be hard to prove that they are ripping students off. Their students, for the most part, have low debt and good job prospects.

WGU should be compared to the Big 3 not Ivy.  Even in that case, WGU is lame?


COSC graduation rate 62%
Excelsior College graduation rate 46%
TESU graduation rate 42%
WGU's graduation rate 14%
