If I still want to walk around with a desk attached to my butt, can I still attend WGU? Can my kid take the final exams for me?–Afterall, they’re sitting right there with me not being a distraction or anything…
i have an associates in nursing and my RN, i am thinking of getting my BSN. This school sounds too good. I wanted to know if you guys know if this is a legit BSN, if its recognized in california and if the BSN received here is good enough to be accepted to a graduate program? Just looking for online schools but not sure which one to choose.

Their online support is outstanding which is must in online education.Best university to pursue online course.
GO FOR IT!
Dont be discouraged! The best bet is to speak with an enrollment counselor. Enrollment counselors at WGU are very knowledgeable about the degree programs and what it takes to succeed in them.
I have an IT program question. My burning question is, I keep hearing that this is great for someone who already has experience in the field but needs the degree, what if I have NO experience in the field but feel that I could learn better this way? I am 24 with some GE done and work 40 hrs/week. I am a good self teacher, but have taken only one Infosystems class. I am pretty computer savvy but have no formal IT experience. Would WGU work for me?
I returned to college after dropping out 25 years after the fact. I earned my BA in Math Education in one year and continued toward my MA which I finished last May. I now have completed 75% of the requirements toward my MS in Ed Leadership and will finish in June after one year in the program. Wgu gave me the tool to “get ‘er done” at a cost well below what it would at a conventional school. The quality of the program is top rate and I highly recommend it.
I am close to finishing my first year with WGU and I am not looking to transfer to another school. I am very pleased that when I researched colleges WGU told me everything and more that is in this commercial — it has all been the truth. The mentoring system is one of their strongest assets! Most online colleges leave you to fend for yourself and when frustration looms, at WGU there are plenty of contact options plus your academic mentor keeps in contact with you on a regular basis

Great commercial! An awesome way to market the University! This is the best online school!
I am in my first month at WGU going for my M.A. in Mathematics Education. I love that it is affordable, and that you can work as fast as you want. What’s amazing is that you can take the assessments from home via webcam. In the end, you get a high quality education and thus save a lot of money in the long run.
Hi and thanks for your question. This is a new program and we are working state-by-state to obtain state board approval for the prelicensure program. Once you have completed an approved program in CA and take your NCLEX exam, there should be no problem with having that license accepted in NV.
does anyone here have attended the Pre Licensure BSN of WGU? If ever I finished it here in California and got my RN License can I bring that license in Nevada without any questions? Because I heard that the Nevada Board of Nursing does not recognize this online BSN Program from WGU? Please reply guys I need to know. thank you.
WGU is a terrific university for working adults. I am able to work around my schedule and after a 15 year absence from college will finally be getting my degree in July. The education is outstanding and the support from the school is even better. I recommend WGU to everybody I meet.
If you were really aware of what college level work was and claim to be as smart as you are, you wouldn’t have all those credits without a PhD degree to show for it u dumbass.
I am a student at WGU going for my bachelor of arts in special education. I am so happy that this program is an actual challenge. I have many friends who go to University of Pheonix, fly through the program and at the end know nothing. I personally would not feel comfortable doing my job later on down the road if I didnt have all the knowledge and skills to do so, WGU offers that. It is also affordale, and they are there to guide you through your program from step 1 until you are done.
Do the students at WGU’s teachers college find it easy or hard to obtain a teaching position after they have graduated WGU online? Does it matter to the employers that the applicant has obtained their degree online?
lol it really does look like a frog on his head!
19-21 seconds..the guy closest to the camera..is that a frog on his head?????
I love WGU. It is challenging, well paced, and they provide a lot of support. It is not a diploma mill, it is competency based so you have to prove you know the information. If you took shortcuts in other programs – you’ll find out pretty quickly. If you think you are all that because you have x number of hours and think you know it all already, you’ll get to prove it pretty quickly.
Worth the money, worth the effort . . .quality school, quality folks.
I really like WGU, I like the accountability and I enjoy talking with my Mentor. I have gone to Baker Online and a local college online, and nothing compares to the education I am receiving at WGU.
I am a student at WGU and I got credit for many of the units I had accumulated from other colleges. I also have taken as many as 21 units in one semester because WGU let me progress through my program as quickly as I wanted. I also saved a lot of money this way because I pay by the semester, not by the unit. It is also a non-profit university so it is very affordable. I am just about finished and my 2 years of courses has cost me less than $12,000.
I also am a student at WGU. 10 months in, I am close to hald way through my bachelor in IT degree. The more time you put into your studies, the faster you will graduate. They send you places to take your tests, so cheating really isnt an option. From my expereience, it is a better school than what I have heard of other online colleges. You and your mentor can pick when you want to take specific courses. Take your laptop on vacation with you and you can spend down time on studies. Go WGU.
“University level work” sounds as though you are implying that I am unaware of what real college level work is. That is really funny as I probably have more credits (and the knowledge to go with it) than the administrators, teachers, and mentors at WGU. If it weren’t for transfer issues, I’d have my doctorate! It sounded as if you were speaking down to me, but perhaps not.
They spelled out everything for me. Sorry your experience was so terrible. I am sure there is a college near you.
