WGU--Too good to be true??

I promise I've read quite a bit here and on Reddit looking to quell my concerns that an accelerated bachelor's degree through WGU seems too good to be true. I have a little bit of credit (18 cu) that will transfer and have mapped out with an enrollment counselor to do a large portion of the Bus. Mgmt degree through Sophia.com/Study.com. I am self pay so this will be affordable for me and I like the ability to accelerate. I'm just nervous to put in the effort/money and then find out in 5 years that my degree is not respected in the business world. I can't find evidence of that happening, but also can't find evidence of graduates who are successful in the long run due to their degree with WGU. Thoughts??

A degree from WGU is from a unranked University, that's not good nor bad. It's just unranked. It's not viewed as a diploma mill if that's what you are worried about. I went to WGU and got accepted into a T14 law school. People don't worry about going to a small unranked state university but a very small minority worry about WGU, I honestly don't understand why. Between a small unranked state university and WGU, the business world views no difference, it's a degree. In five years, 97% of your resume will be based on your experience, not where you went to college and what degree you got.

Hope that helps.
