WGU--Too good to be true??

[dfrecore]

It's definitely not too good to be true; it's generally for people who already have years of experience in the business or IT world, so the "prestige" of the degree matters not a whit, they just need a check-the-box degree. For those people, they can usually get through the degree in 1-2 terms, and fairly easily since they already know a lot of the material.

I had a friend whose kid went through straight out of high school, knowing not much at all about CompSci - he took 5 terms, but that was still far less time and money than it would have cost him to go through a traditional program via CC/4yr state school. He was very happy with the program, and is currently using the knowledge he learned to create a video game with a friend.

As far as what it will do for you - it really depends on what your experience is, and what you plan to do for a career.
