BSN Program
I loved WGU’s program and my mentor Darla was amazing. Being able to go at your own pace worked in my favor and I was able to get the BSN program done in 2 semesters. I wish I hadn’t put it off for so long but blessed to have it done!

Satisfied graduate
I had a good experience overall attending WGU. I was able to complete my degree quickly and was able to take most tests at my convenience. I would recommend the school to anyone who is looking for a self paced education.

WGU was the best educational experience of my life. Their platform is easy to use, cohesive across devices, and intuitive. From my mentor to professors and even support staff - everyone was friendly, supportive and helpful. I completed my MBA program in 2.5 months because of the self-paced style of the program - it was perfect for me and my lifestyle and I’d do it again in a second!

The amount of support from the instructors and mentors is unparalleled. You get out of the MSN program what you put into it. Highly recommend WGU for working moms!

WGU review
I had a wonderful experience but the courses are a little bit complicated. Please improve the courses and the material!

Overall Best Online Experience
WGU was extremely flexible compared to other online college options that I was considering. I loved that my textbooks and resources were all covered under my tuition. I felt extremely supported and engaged throughout my time here. A special shoutout to my mentor, Lina Rahal. Do not think I would have made it through without her. The only reason I am not giving them a 5/5 is they need to work with a better proctor company. My only bad experiences were working with the 3rd party they use to proctor the exams. I also see many of my peers having the same issues so I know these are not isolated instances.

WGU is excellent
The Cybersecurity Program at WGU is excellent and the ability to go at your own pace is a huge benefit.

This is a great school if you have grit and determination. With good study habits, organization, and avid note taking skills I was able to finish my dual bachelors degree in less than a year. I plan on coming back for my masters after my first year of teaching.

Great Opportunities
WGU gave me the opportunity to earn a 4 year degree in under 2 years while becoming a mom of 2 and working full time. Susan Fritzler was an amazing mentor and so supportive. The only thing I wish WGU would change is the requirement of edTPA for states that don’t require it.

Convenient, doable, and affordable.

Best Choice I ever made
WGU was the best choice I've ever made. This coming from a person who thought college was pointless. Looking back to see how far I have come, I have grown SO much. The certificate and degree at the finish line are a no brainer. However, I will say this isn't for everyone. I had great Student Mentors and wonderful Course Instructors. I never got pride in the degree, but I get it now. This was such an amazing experience - I am enrolled to do my Masters
