I worked for WGU as a student mentor in the nursing program for five years and it's a good school but you must be a self-starter and focused. The courses take real work and you must know the material, it is not a degree mill. Too many people put off the work and let the end of the semester sneak up on them. I know about the coursework because I earned an M.S. in management while working there.

WGU is designed for working professionals, and if you have a background already in the industry and need a degree to advance, it's the perfect choice. There is not a lot of hand-holding and leading you around by the nose like you'd find in a traditional school. Some people need that, some don't. I've been in IT for several years, and have earned several technical certifications on my own, so I adapted to the school's format fairly easily.

I understand if you'd rather not, but would you be willing to answer a question about the school's Psychology program? Specifically, has WGU set up it's Psychology program in a way that supports students hoping to push their education further? I'm determined to follow through and do what most psych majors don't, move on to graduate school and become an LCSW. Even have a specialty in mind. Doing that requires that I get myself into a graduate program in the first place. Doing _that_ is greatly benefited by having a strong positive relationship with your professors, and a school like WGU seems like a shaky prospect in that regard.

Make too much per FAFSA but too little to realistically afford more than 1 term at WGU. Hoping for scholarships, if not, i can pay out of pocket for one term and am going to finish because i absolutely have to.

My main gripe was, as you hinted, that the course instructors weren't involved. It's a name attached to the class. Only a handful of CI handle all courses in the major. You just get a course showing up in your portal and are expected to read the online materials and do the tasks. They often don't even make a video to explain complex topics or how to do the tasks. For someone like me who absorbs info via in-person classes or videos, this was really disappointing. The mentor was really the MVP.

See... I had a very different experience with this. An in-person class to me was a waste of time. I didn't learn much from WGU's cybersecurity degree but that is only because I am in the military for cyber. I loved their Cybersecurity degree as IT truly is do or die on your own. If you can't teach yourself through reading documentation and doing the task assigned, then odds are IT isn't for that person. However, I understand the frustration especially if you are completely new to the field. My mentor just kinda unlocked classes that I told him I wanted to do because I had proved I would just pass the class in maybe a day or 2. The one course that I had to go to the instructors multiple times on was Managing Cloud Security. That course was very unfriendly to me..

I was thinking the same thing. The program I want to do is a Masters in Nursing (RN to MSN). Their program info says you can earn your bachelors degree (in Nursing - BSN) in the first part of the program, for RN's that just have their Associate's (ADN), then you progress into the Master's courses. Some of the Master's courses do not require prerequisites, so if you finished with your BSN and just a few of the Master's courses, you can still show on a resume that you did complete them and have that level of knowledge in those areas. So you still get credit for what you take as long as you prove competency, which is good.

I'm in the process of graduating from WGU (passed the capstone and just waiting on the graduate application to finalize). It's been a good experience. I mentioned the no GPA to one of the first mentor's I'd gotten when I started. Even though the courses are essentially pass/fail, you do sort of get a GPA. It's basically a 3.0, and that fact is mentioned on the transcript that you'd send to any other institution. They are also dumping Examity (the proctoring service) soon, so that'll be a welcome change. I will most likely go back there for a Master's.

I nvr failed an assessment but just from how often my mentor checks in, I am sure they are amazing if you do. My professors also reach out fairly consistently. Having gotten my undergrad from a state school, I actually prefer the flexibility at WGU. I’ve taken online, hybrid and traditional in class courses at my undergrad university and I hated the unnecessary busy work. Working a full time job, being able to knock out a class in a day has been so convenient than having to stay on top of multiple deadlines. I prefer the objective assessments only because I hate writing papers but I have had two performance assessments returned. When they that happens the grader leaves specific notes for correction. Both times it happened I made the corrections in maybe less than 30 minutes and resubmitted. They were pretty quick to get back to me that they passed. Only regret is not knowing about WGU sooner and that was before I heard about the degree hacking. Would have saved so much money.

One negative I do have with WGU is if you start you better not change your mind. I wanted my degree 4 years ago and decided to start with them. Life happened and although my classes started, I dropped them 30ish days in. Of course, my fault, but now I feel they’re the best school for me because of their curriculum style but I’m having to jump through hoops to reenroll. You have to do an SAP appeal to be able to use FASFA (10 business day process must have documentation), must pay any collections from prior attendance (up to a 45 day process if you can pay it off), and THEN once you complete both of those and they’re approved, there is a 60 day readmission process where it’s quite possible they may not let you come back. It’s a very stressful process. That being said, I want to go to WGU because I’m at SNHU right now and having to write a paper every single week for every class, plus discussion posts, plus your final essay is a lot. Super writing intensive. Is there a school outside of WGU that would be a good choice that isn’t super writing intensive?

Their rather "unique" enrollment process really put me off. I checked around online and people are reporting that my experience with WGU's enrollment process is not at all abnormal. Having to speak to a so-called "Enrollment Councilor" on the phone just to get your foot in the door after applying, okay I can do that, but wait, the enrollment councilor never calls you on the agreed-upon time, and you can't ever call them yourself, and when you finally do get them on the phone, they're late, and you can't hear them because their phone is so bad that it sounds like they're shouting into a vacuum cleaner... okay, maybe you can get used to it and start to make out some words and get a general sense of what they're saying. But then you get disconnected. After about two weeks of getting the run-around, I gave up. A college that is this poorly organized in the enrollment process can't be very good in the parts that really matter.

This is one of the worst, most chaotic college enrollment seasons ever recorded. Major changes were made to the FAFSA for the first time in decades that ended up causing a lot of delays and bugs, meaning colleges have pushed back their enrollment deadlines to cope with a non-functioning FAFSA and are rushing to get everyone in the door and sorted. There’s also a ton of fighting about DEI initiatives, and confusion about standardized test requirements… none of that excuses the poor customer service you received, but it might help give you context for why it’s worse right now than normal.

While yes, you could schedule the exams for any time (I took the Ethics in Technology exam at 3amPT), the fact that there were constantly connection issues, the proctors were rarely understandable with distorted voices, threatened to end your exam if you so much as coughed, and one time giving me the completely wrong test and counting it as a failed attempt killed the idea of WGU for me. Kinda sad when my favorite classes in an IT program were the English Comp I and the Speech class since I was told I could write on and give a speech on any topic I wanted.

But skipping the free electives means even more classes better preparing you for a job after!

They specifically limited the types of courses that you can take because they wanted degrees that will be extremely in demand. So well, it does suck that they are limited for some people they specifically do it so that people aren’t taking throwaway liberal art degrees

when you say "unable to attend if living outside of the united states," do you mean specifically Americans who live outside of the US or frequently travel for extended periods of time or do you mean non-US citizens?

Actually, both! At least according to them.

If I did not have anything to transfer in (as I was not born a US Citizen and have only lived here for 10 years) and was choosing beween WGU and UMPI, which would people choose?
@CollegeHacked5 ай бұрын
Depends on what kind of experience and major you prefer! WGU has proctored final exams, UMPI has paper/project finals, so no proctoring. Both offer pretty different major options, other than both offering business and psychology.

@@CollegeHacked Accounting is what I am looking at. Working full time in Hospital as Revenue Cycle Director and I want to have the chance to transition to CFO. Born in the UK, so no HS transcripts (just GED) and it looks like WGU gas a require to get on the account course of showing HS transcripts which will be a pain from schooling in the UK. UMPI has no such requirements. The WGU course on the other hand is MUCH more focused on the actual subject and I feel would be better actual training for the role. It's just if I can get in. I don't want to do the prep courses, I want to get started. I'll be 40 this year.

@@ldkellandshawA GED is fine for WGU! In the US, high school transcripts are synonymous with a GED :) Same thing, but some schools don’t make that super clear: As long as you live in the US, WGU should be fine. Just remember you have to hack everything first before you let them enroll you in courses or you’ll get locked out of transferring in credit. You can apply and get accepted first, then pause to hack before enrolling :) You got this!

@@CollegeHacked Thanks! There is an additional requirement for college readiness though on the Accounting course. I guess all I can do is apply and see. I was just stunned that I could pass the GED with no subject less than a 165 20 odd years after leaving school!! :)

@CollegeHacked3 ай бұрын
Chances are very good that you aren’t dumb, just disorganized when it comes to academics. Academia is a whole world and learning is actually a skill you cultivate through intentional mental effort and good habits. It’s actually really hard when you first start, but like a muscle you get quicker and more efficient with time. Don’t give up!

Realistically how fast can someone get a degree here? If they have no transfer credits
@CollegeHacked11 ай бұрын
“Real” has a lot of definitions :) It depends on many factors, how many hours a week you have for school and how quickly you learn. But it’s possible in 2 years for many people.
@whatchyagonnado10 ай бұрын
Each degree has an approximate time to complete on the website (I believe it's taken from the average time students take to complete it). All in all, it's entirely up to how quickly you absorb information and how much time you are willing to dedicate.
