fair warning: I have not been to WGU, but have researched them quite a bit. My research has been focused on their M.S. program but overall they do seem to have a good transfer policy, in particular they have industry certs built into their programs so if you already have the cert.... you're done with that requirement (which is awesome! and practical!) Credit for work experience I don't know about but you can, for example, use an existing project from work to base your Master's capstone & defense. Again, pretty damn awesome if you ask me.
As to the actual class experience, I have no idea. I do know that they classes are watching lectures online and completing assignments at your own pace. You register for a six month block and then study at your own pace, as long as you get a minimum number of units completed you just keep on till your done.
Again, I haven't been there.... but they can expect my application in May :-)
