The program started ok. I am very independent and can complete work on my own. The school's setup is designed to save money and complete coursework efficiently. One issue with this institution is that it is very compartmentalized. There is no communication between the departments. This makes solving issues extremely difficult. As far as exams for the school, they are proctored, and you can take them at home. The proctors don't follow one standardndard. There is one proctor that I could barely pass their requirements, even when I was in an empty room. The other proctors, as long as I passed the checks, it went smoothly. When writing papers, the people checking them are not supposed to have access to your information. It is supposed to be completely non-biased. They aren't even supposed to know who wrote the papers. Yet have been flagged for not adhering to professional integrity. Why, because this paper isn't written in the same style as my last paper. I stated my concerns from the beginning that I could not take time out of work for student teaching. I was told "we will cross that bridge when we get to it", "take out a loan", and "don't worry about that right now. I kept asking, but I was already enrolled and making great progress through the classes. I have hit the clinical stage now and have been forced to change degrees. They state that there is no way to work at the school (which is very willing to work with me) while student teaching. The district actually moved me to a school and position to make sure I could work and do student teaching. Well, that is something that I cannot do with WGU. So I have changed to a non-licensure degree. This will add even more challenges for me. I can choose an alternative path to licensure; thankfully, that is an option. As long as I manage to get my Bachelor's degree. Having to change degrees, I am now required to take three additional classes. Simple classes, same content as what I have already done, with different names.

Here at WGU, we believe that talent is universal—even if opportunity isn't. Higher education is the best way to bridge that gap, but traditional higher ed wasn't built for the realities facing many of today's students. So we created a university focused on expanding access to education around the country. We've innovated with students in mind, giving them the flexibility and freedom they need to succeed in today's workplace.See more
