WGU Layoffs

[bluebooger]

This is a VERY interesting thread…I was considering WGU for my MBA….I don’t  want to go to a place that doesn’t at least pass the smell test of “not scam”.  Are there any updates on this situation?

I passed the MS-CSIA degree earlier this year and I was able to get accepted into a PhD program using the credentials I earned from WGU. If WGU was a scam, not only would their alumni be able to move on to higher level programs, but WGU would eventually be in danger of losing its regional and program-level accreditations. A WGU MBA may not be as prestigious as one from Harvard, but it's still quite legitimate from a mid-tier school. The only reason I wouldn't recommend WGU is if you are planning on going to a DBA program that insists on your MBA having an AACSB program accreditation since WGU's MBA is endorsed by the ACBSP.

yeah, all anyone has to do it spend 5 minutes on WGU's reddit to see whether or not its a scam and if students are happy with it  
spoiler: students are generally happy
