- OldHand2018 7y agoI've known a few people that attended WGU. Like all online options, you need to be strongly self-motivated to succeed. Their education model is different from most universities that you will encounter. A class more or less takes as long as it needs. Once you have demonstrated that you can satisfy the requirements for passing, you pass and move on. If you have a lot of experience in a certain area, this can be a wonderful way to accumulate credits. If you are looking for the "college experience", you'd probably want to look elsewhere, but if you have a need for a degree for career advancement or grad school, it appears to be very worthwhile. Keep in mind that it is a real public university accredited by the same board as Washington and Oregon. It's not a joke by any means.
