I also went to WGU for a term and hated it. It's soooooo different than UMPI. Yeah, they're both CBE programs, but that's all that they have in common. You don't have a professor at WGU. Instead, you get a Course Instructor who doesn't actually grade or evaluate your assignments. I didn't find them to be overly helpful as they couldn't tell me what I was doing wrong when I needed help with the assignments because they're not grading the work. It was very frustrating.

But the diploma will also say Global so it will scream online degree which everyone' isn't comfortable with. It's also not really UMass.
