My experience with WGU has been amazing! I am about to enter my last quarter and graduate in 2022! For years and years, I didn't think that a college education was needed. I worked at low level and low paying jobs, not really making any headway towards a career. When I began WGU, I thought this would be pretty generic: take classes (some that don't really go anywhere), take exams and move forward. But it has been such an eye opener! These courses have taught me so much about our world, politics, economics that now I totally get what the news is talking about. I am able to hold conversations about those matters, research those topics that are important to me and form a broader opinion. By achieving my accounting degree, I feel confident that I will land an excellent job with a future that pays more than subsistence wages. I feel confident in what I have learned so much that I want to get out in the work force and build on those necessary and important blocks to achieve larger dreams.
All my courses are online. My mentor is awesome and very supportive. WGU has a great IT department and student portal. Most everything is easy to find and operate. I'm surprised how easy it is to use. The classes are all simple and informative, and my professors keep it good touch with their students. I'm particularly impressed with the mentor and coordination staff. They are very professional, punctual, and keep in good touch with their students. If I have any questions, I can usually get a very quick answer and help with finding the correct person or resource. It's quite a change from my other university experiences. WGU takes the slow out of a university education and gets their students moving forward. I'm very grateful to their positive and supportive approach to education!
WGU overall is an excellent university that keeps to it’s standard! For me It’s affordable and very convenient.
Even though I couldn’t get the opportunity of graduating like I wished because I was dismissed from the program I was doing. I will still recommend this university 100% to my friends.
They have great course instructors and mentors. I was able to get financial help and scholarship while in the school. So I resolved in my mind with my husband to be a steady donor to WGU scholarship.
Even though I was dismissed from the school, it will not stop me from fulfilling this promise I made when I entered the university. I will continue to contribute in the WGU scholarship and assist students who are struggling between school, work and family like I did, and help them achieve their dream!
