WGU Review (My experience)

[jadae@wgu.edu]

WGU works just fine. If the mentor does not suit you, just cry bloody murder until they change it. It is you that has to look out for your education, and you need to ask for a mentor that suits your needs. Other than that issue, WGU is fine. I did half of the MBA program, before feeling like I would rather do a career change, but the program is fine. I would not recommend the MS in Leadership. It is essentially HR on steroids. As much as I hate to admit it, an MBA is just a more efficient route for most people. Boring? Yes. But efficient. I may have stayed if they offered an MS in Marketing, or something more technical and product-oriented, but the MBA is as close as it gets. IT, Accounting, etc. type folks have more options there.

But I think the overall model works well. The introductory phase is annoying. It's mostly pointless for most people, but its just something to tolerate to get to why you are there. To learn concepts and gain that paper trail.
