I chose WGU because I would be able to complete my degree in a timeframe that worked for me and conformed to my schedule. I was able to accomplish both of these things. Both of the mentors I was assigned were professional and generous with their time and knowledge. They helped me navigate my courses and my overall experience with WGU.

MSCSIA In one term
My problem with traditional and online school models is that the coursework is stretched over a long time, and I often get frustrated at the lack of a reward for working ahead. In other online schools, even if I were to look at and complete all assignments in week 1, I'd still need to submit them weekly. WGU solves the time investment problem for me, and the flexibility allowed me to finish in one term with plenty of time to spare. I have no criticism of WGU as a whole. I enjoyed my short time enrolled in the program and there is an active WGU Cyber community on discord that I would have engaged in if I thought I would take longer than one term to finish my program. My criticism of the MSCSIA program is that the EC-Council classes are more entry-level and should be moved to the bachelor's program to be replaced with senior certs like CASP+, CISA, CISM, or PMP.

Classes are designed to promote success for many different learning styles. More than adequate support is available when needed. An all around great experience for me. Will be returning for another degree in the future.
