People that graduated from WGU are working in Fortune 500 companies.
Nobody wants to put in hard work earning a college degree and then find out later that employers will look down on their degree.

Anyone figured out how to complete the WGU degree from overseas? Not military or Canada.
Especially for temporary digital nomads.
Or can anyone suggest an affordable school that will allow this. Happy holidays to you all.

You need to be a U.S. citizen with a U.S. address.
You need an Internet that is sufficient enough for proctoring while overseas.

Degree from WGU? It’s a tool but also reflection of my character. First words on my resume is I GET THINGS DONE! I’m efficient and effective. How I do it, is my own self-evolution. Sure, I will check whatever boxes you want, but I’m more focused on being the person that does awesome things that make a business succeed.
Respected? Depends on perspectives and comparisons. No or the same experience, and you are up against someone with a degree from MIT or Harvard? Sorry, yes it will matter here and you will be SOL on that one. Against any other state level school? Probably not. It can depend on who is looking at this as well. If the reviewer is an alumni, you may get preference. With so many folks completing degrees from WGU, this can be a huge positive.

I don't believe you have to be a US citizen. However, they won't sponsor a student visa, so you would have to be here (and legally allowed to study) some other way, like a green card.
To answer the OPs question, it might be possible to fake being in the US using a US address and a VPN, but I can't say it's a good idea.
