He says that you can transfer in up to 96 credits for some degrees, but I just don't think this is true? I'm pretty sure it's 90.
He says all you need is a laptop which isn't 100% true. You need an external webcam.
I thought you had to complete at least 25% of the degree at WGU. There are some programs that you can't transfer in the full 90 credits because there isn't an equivalent outside of WGU.
He says their programs are 40 classes and the Cybersecurity degree has 34 classes.
I was thinking this was an old video, but the comments are from less than 24 hours ago.
It's funny how he goes on about the WGU stats about employer satisfaction. He left out the part where most WGU students aren't 18-22 years old, but instead working adults.
He said Stanford is an Ivy. While it is competitive to the Ivies, it's not one of the 8 Ivies. The Ivies actually refers to a specific athletic program.
WGU is new and part of the new alternative education? WGU has been around since 1996. I wouldn't exactly say it's new. Alternative education is things like apprenticeships - NOT new at all, boot camps - not really new, internships - NOT new and have existed for many decades, online programs and training - definitely not new.Alternative education is something to keep colleges honest? What?
He leaves me with even more questions!
