Agree. I completed 2 years at 2 different "brick and mortar" Universities in the past, took a long hiatus to build a career in IT, then went back to school (WGU) to complete a BS in IT-Security last June and am now back again and enrolled in the Masters in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance program. I / we haven't missed a beat with the onset of this pandemic (unlike almost everything else in my life) and that's saying something.
Just like the "B&M" classes I took previously, some classes are great, some less so, some hard, some less so. Anyone who thinks a school like WGU is "less good" probably has not actually experienced it and / or has a reason to protect the status quo. A student does have to self direct more in online programs, for a fact. But with that comes much more flexibility and scheduling freedom. And the price, at least for WGU, can't be beat.
- non-entity 7y agoMy biggest worry is the aggressive advertising ministry that of for-profit degree mills. Even just filling out an interest form leads to a mass of spam email, phone calls and even snail mail.
