WGU offers a Masters of Science in my field, which I haven't seen available from any of the 'big 3'. Additionally WGU recognizes a number of industry certifications, many of which I already have. I'm not sure about other fields but with technology certifications can carry a fair amount of weight, so being able to (essentially) double-dip is quite valuable. If you're going to do the certifications anyway why not let them count toward a second bachelors or an masters?
*shrugs* seems like a good idea at first glance, that's why I'm asking :-)
Thanks for the feedback / info!
