I have been working on my Bachelor’s in Math Education (5th-12th) from this college since May of last year. As a military spouse who is constantly changing her location, it has been a god-send. They have a high accreditation, it’s a great program, you can obtain certification in most states.
I have a wonderful mentor who helps guide my progress and if I get stuck, I get referred to a professional teacher who can further assist me with that particular subject.

I’m beginning DT on Monday, too. No way could I be in this position with 3 kids and a husband had I needed to attend a traditional ‘bricks-and-mortar’ school.

I’m in my third year with WGU and it has been a positive experience thus far. As a stay at home mom of 3, a traditional college would not have met my needs. Thanks to WGU, I’m looking forward to graduating next year!

Good luck to everyone starting DT on Monday… I start around the 15th. I am a nervous wreck!

I love the video…especially the mom on the skateboard! Nice touch

I am entering my fourth term at WGU, and will be doing my demonstration teaching in the fall. I have loved the flexibility offered by WGU, allowing me to earn my BA, while still being home with my two young kids.

I just graduated from WGU’s BA Mathematics 5-12 program. It was affordable, rigorous, and great preparation for teaching high school level math. It took me two years and I’m REALLY happy I did it!

Unfortunately, this web ad is super corny. Don’t let it dissuade you from checking out WGU’s programs. With their competency-based credit system, you really can make the most of the knowledge you’ve acquired on your own.

I think the video is a great complement to the other media WGU uses to promote the university. I started at WGU in November working on my BS in Business Management. I am happy I made that choice.

Yes, the video is goofball, but I’m very pleased with WGU. I was unsure about online degrees, but love my teaching program. There are pros and cons to online programs, of course. If you are going into teaching GO FOR IT. You won’t get a better education from a traditional program. Excellent. I’ve been in the K-8 program for 2 semesters, with a toddler at home.

I am in my first semester at WGU in the Math Education 5-9 program. I am a foster mom of two girls 6 & 8 at the moment, I work full time, my husband travels with work and I am ver involved in church. I somehow find time to get through my online school work and still make the grades! I would never be able to do this at a traditional school….Give it a try!

I am in the Bachelor of Arts in Social Science (5-12) program, and I absolutely love it. WGU has an excellent competency-based program of studies. Highly recommended and they are accredited by many different accrediting agencies. NCATE accreditation is the most important.
