Can't find a job that pays anything. WGU advertises that college graduates can earn a great starting salary. Where? The few places that even interviewed me didn't pay enough for even a single man to live on. Let alone a father of three. I finished the three courses assigned to me and another. But didn't finish a fifth before the end of term. Now they took away my aid, and when I tried to set up a payment plan, I got a alert saying that I didn't qualify for the payment plans. So I either pay all up... Read More

WGU is great if you are self-motivated and persistent enough to learn complex materials on your own. Many people write bad reviews because they probably have a different expectation of what they will need to do. The truth is WGU provides you with everything you need to learn. The books are all you need, but there is A LOT that you have to learn and when you can't understand something you just have to keep reviewing it until it finally clicks. Beyond the books, you do have other resources provided... Read More

Excellent college and great experience... I love the competency-based program. The program worked perfectly to balance career, school, and family, and it worked fantastically with my company's career degree development tuition reimbursement program. I highly recommend WGU. The Mentor program helps keep you focused and on task. 5 stars out of 5.

Great school. They focus on what you need to learn not just what they want you to. The work is hard but worth it.

I attended a local brick and mortar business school in 1998 for 1 year and it cost me more than my entire Bachelor's degree with WGU. I completed my Bachelor's degree with WGU in 2013 and have this year returned to complete my MBA. WGU is not a "diploma mill" and I do know people that have attended that have failed the program. It takes discipline and hard work to complete their classes but they are very student focused and will give you any tutoring help that you reach out for. They encourage student... Read More
