Clearly they are not on the same page as the big 3! The problem with them is we dont have much data from folks that have used them. Very little info
on these boards have been brought up about them. They are good for computer degrees and thats I all i know about them.
I knew a coworker that got stuck on a English class with them for a computer degree. I always wondered why he didnt do straightline or something equivalent to bypass the basic/core stuff.
Apparently their transfer policy has some issues.
You can transfer up to 90 credits with WGU. With a business degree, it's easy to transfer 90 credits. With a computer degree, it is next to impossible to reach 90 credits using alternative credits.
I have seen people report some courses that are much harder than other classes. With the 70% passing grade on the all or nothing final test, there is a lot of pressure on each course.
The computer degrees tend to be heavily weighted towards classes that get you certifications. All those certifications add up to a pile of dog crap IMO. But they do teach you the basics and cost a lot if you pay for them on your own.
If you qualify for the Pell Grant, then WGU may be worth a try. Worst case you can transfer your credits out and go to TESU/COSC later on.
Another thought might be you could go to WGU, then transfer to a traditional brick and mortar school. That would save time & money yet still give you the experience of drinking and chasing tail (I mean enlightened social experience) of the brick and mortar schools. You will also be in the esteemed position and saying your school sucks, mine is better which is unmeasurable in dollar terms and will add value and happiness to your life.
