The vocabulary for WGU is unique, but you DO NOT need to do all the homework if you know it. You do the tasks to prove you know it, then you take the test. You were not mislead. Many people can take a test and pass but still not be proficient in what they are taking. The tasks make you prove it. If you cannot pass the tasks, you need to do the homework. Its that simple.

At WGU, you need to prove competency. Since your classes didn’t transfer in, it was because they were not competency based. If you didn’t have to prove in any way, other than a test, then you have proven nothing.

This is not a diploma mill. I have attended online classes at University of Phoenix, Kaplan, and now WGU. WGU makes me work for knowledge. They do not give you uber simple assignments like Kaplan and Phenix. This is university level work all the way. I recommend WGU if you value your education. If you just want to buy it, go elsewhere.

What do you think the tasks are, if not “all the homework”? As I already stated, you may not have to read the resources, but all the HOMEWORK is still there (you can call it tasks if you want, but it doesn’t change it’s nature).The statement “If you cannot pass the tasks, you need to do the homework” is silly.I could,and did,do the tasks w/o any reading (homework) but the tasks themselves would be considered homework anywhere else.

The statement “the vocabulary for WGU is unique” should be a clue to those reading these posts that there is a problem. The vocabulary is not the norm ,therefore, misleading.

By all the homework, I was referring to the COURSE OF STUDY work that you would not have to take if you actually knew it. If all you want is a diploma without actually proving you can do anything, I am sure there are other colleges that will gladly run you through assignments, and tasks, and papers, then 3-4 tests plus a final and not be concerned if you actually retain anything or learn anything beyond the test.

I have never attended a diploma mill, so I cannot reply to that idea.I know I said this before, but, I have had to transfer because of the Air Force, and I have over 200 credits.Nothing that was required of me in WGU’s tasks was new, unique, or helpful.There are schools that offer assessments that require a foundation of knowledge. These efficiently evaluate one’s knowledge. So, the idea that WGU HAS to do them this way to be sure people know what they are doing is just crap!

They spelled out everything for me. Sorry your experience was so terrible. I am sure there is a college near you.
September 3rd, 2009 at 3:57 pm
“University level work” sounds as though you are implying that I am unaware of what real college level work is. That is really funny as I probably have more credits (and the knowledge to go with it) than the administrators, teachers, and mentors at WGU. If it weren’t for transfer issues, I’d have my doctorate! It sounded as if you were speaking down to me, but perhaps not.

I also am a student at WGU. 10 months in, I am close to hald way through my bachelor in IT degree. The more time you put into your studies, the faster you will graduate. They send you places to take your tests, so cheating really isnt an option. From my expereience, it is a better school than what I have heard of other online colleges. You and your mentor can pick when you want to take specific courses. Take your laptop on vacation with you and you can spend down time on studies. Go WGU.

I am a student at WGU and I got credit for many of the units I had accumulated from other colleges. I also have taken as many as 21 units in one semester because WGU let me progress through my program as quickly as I wanted. I also saved a lot of money this way because I pay by the semester, not by the unit. It is also a non-profit university so it is very affordable. I am just about finished and my 2 years of courses has cost me less than $12,000.

I really like WGU, I like the accountability and I enjoy talking with my Mentor. I have gone to Baker Online and a local college online, and nothing compares to the education I am receiving at WGU.

I love WGU. It is challenging, well paced, and they provide a lot of support. It is not a diploma mill, it is competency based so you have to prove you know the information. If you took shortcuts in other programs – you’ll find out pretty quickly. If you think you are all that because you have x number of hours and think you know it all already, you’ll get to prove it pretty quickly.
Worth the money, worth the effort . . .quality school, quality folks.

19-21 seconds..the guy closest to the camera..is that a frog on his head?????

lol it really does look like a frog on his head!

Do the students at WGU’s teachers college find it easy or hard to obtain a teaching position after they have graduated WGU online? Does it matter to the employers that the applicant has obtained their degree online?

I am a student at WGU going for my bachelor of arts in special education. I am so happy that this program is an actual challenge. I have many friends who go to University of Pheonix, fly through the program and at the end know nothing. I personally would not feel comfortable doing my job later on down the road if I didnt have all the knowledge and skills to do so, WGU offers that. It is also affordale, and they are there to guide you through your program from step 1 until you are done.

If you were really aware of what college level work was and claim to be as smart as you are, you wouldn’t have all those credits without a PhD degree to show for it u dumbass.

WGU is a terrific university for working adults. I am able to work around my schedule and after a 15 year absence from college will finally be getting my degree in July. The education is outstanding and the support from the school is even better. I recommend WGU to everybody I meet.

does anyone here have attended the Pre Licensure BSN of WGU? If ever I finished it here in California and got my RN License can I bring that license in Nevada without any questions? Because I heard that the Nevada Board of Nursing does not recognize this online BSN Program from WGU? Please reply guys I need to know. thank you.
November 16th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Hi and thanks for your question. This is a new program and we are working state-by-state to obtain state board approval for the prelicensure program. Once you have completed an approved program in CA and take your NCLEX exam, there should be no problem with having that license accepted in NV.

I am in my first month at WGU going for my M.A. in Mathematics Education. I love that it is affordable, and that you can work as fast as you want. What’s amazing is that you can take the assessments from home via webcam. In the end, you get a high quality education and thus save a lot of money in the long run.

Great commercial! An awesome way to market the University! This is the best online school!
November 20th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
I am close to finishing my first year with WGU and I am not looking to transfer to another school. I am very pleased that when I researched colleges WGU told me everything and more that is in this commercial — it has all been the truth. The mentoring system is one of their strongest assets! Most online colleges leave you to fend for yourself and when frustration looms, at WGU there are plenty of contact options plus your academic mentor keeps in contact with you on a regular basis

I returned to college after dropping out 25 years after the fact. I earned my BA in Math Education in one year and continued toward my MA which I finished last May. I now have completed 75% of the requirements toward my MS in Ed Leadership and will finish in June after one year in the program. Wgu gave me the tool to “get ‘er done” at a cost well below what it would at a conventional school. The quality of the program is top rate and I highly recommend it.
