What's the most number of WGU degrees you've heard of a single person getting?
#1
Hi all,
What's the most number of degrees from WGU that you've ever heard of a single person obtaining?  I've been looking at several YouTube channels about WGU, umpi, and other CBE programs. In addition to seeing people finish in 6 months to a year (although that is not the norm), I've noticed several people with multiple degrees from wgu. However, the most I've actually seen either on YouTube or on various forums have been people with three WGU degrees, although several of those folks were working on a fourth.

The reason why I ask is that I know that this forum as well as others like it are full of lifelong learners and many people here are using their annual tuition reimbursement from their employer.  So as long as their employer approves and they really like going to school I can imagine someone picking up a lot of these degrees. 

It reminds me of the guy who used to work for some University in Michigan and picked up 34 University degrees from that school simply by using tuition reimbursement.  In my own life I knew a woman who picked up three or four college degrees while working as an administrative assistant for that university.

For most people, just as you've mentioned, they're getting tuition assistance or reimbursement for their studies, and completing a life long learning goal of getting educated in areas of their interest. I've heard multiple people get at least a couple of Masters from WGU, the most common combo is the MBA/MSML as they share about 5 classes.

It really depends on the student and their needs or wants, I can see others getting into a double, triple Masters or even a couple Bachelors/Masters combos from WGU. If someone who truly wants to learn all areas of business, education, IT, health/nursing, they can get a combination of degrees in those respective areas alone.
