How fast are you getting courses done at WGU? I see some have suggested UMPI, which is a great option…. But also similar concept in that it’s competency based. If you need more time or structure, it might not be the best option. It also might not be much different than staying put at WGU, unless there’s other reasons to switch.
I don’t have personal experience with PENN FOSTER. I did look up their graduation rate for Bachelors degrees. It’s about 7%. I think their niche is HS and career diploma school programs. I just don’t see the benefit. On the payment plan, it’s possible that you could finish and still be paying it off for a while afterward and I’d bet you don’t get that diploma until it’s paid. So that would delay your next step.
Have you looked into employer reimbursement?
