Support is
My mentor and course instructor were extremely supportive. Although we are going through these unprecedented times, I received prompt responses and constructive feedback in a timely and proficient manner. I was overwhelmed at first but felt at ease after I spoke with my CI; calls were even returned on the weekends! My phone calls to the student services were always received with professionalism and kindness. The individuals whom I interacted with were polite and helpful. This experience has given me a solid foundation and has helped me to better prepare for my current position as a Patient Care Manager. I am grateful to have received a quality education and to be a part of the WGU family.

My experience at WGU was excellent. I would recommend the school to friends and family. My mentor and Course instructors were always available and willing to assist. The material used to present the courses and instructions were easily accessible and clearly presented. Thank you WGU for making it possible for me to obtain my Bachelors Degree in Healthcare Management. At this point in my life I feel empowered to grow professionally and personally. I appreciate WGU!
Cost effective
Cost effective. I loved being able to move through classes at my own pace. An online platform was new to me, but WGU does it in such a way that it works well, even for those who typically prefer a traditional learning environment. I look forward to using my new skills. Thank you WGU for an exceptional experience.
WGU Graduate School

I received encouragement, assistance, and all of my questions were promptly answered by my program mentor and my course instructors. I would encourage anyone seeking an online degree program to consider WGU. I am so glad that I did!

I needed a program that was affordable and flexible
I needed a program that was affordable and able to be flexible since I am a Mom and a I work part time. WGU provided that. I also felt that I learned and mastered information so I felt the classes provided content and assignments that created a good and helpful experience. I loved working with my mentor. Thanks to WGU I have gotten my masters in a timely and cost effective manner. This has newly helped me secure a job at my desired place to teach.
An affordable, flexible obtainable program
WGU was great for a full-time working single mom like myself. It was an affordable program that was flexible and understanding. My program mentor was fantastic and provided just the right amount of support I needed to complete my Masters in Nursing Leadership. I would highly recommend this program to others.
WGU is an amazing school for working…
WGU is an amazing school for working adults. I worked a 40-hour week and still completed my degree in four terms!
Great Experience!!
I had a great experience while getting my MBA through WGU. Now that I have the MBA I have been having discussions with my Company regarding career growth and goals. The experience was exactly as advertised.
Highly recommend WGU BAELED program!
Overall, my experience at WGU helped me to achieve my goals in the way I saw fit. My mentor was the BIGGEST support. I am forever grateful for Meredith Roxburgh! I think what could’ve helped the BAELED program would have been more mandatory guidance for the EDTPA. It really truly took over my life getting everything done in a single semester: the EDTPA, student teaching, all of the observations. It was quite overwhelming and I devoted all of my attention to the whole semester! I think that mandatory weekly meetings with your mentor should be implemented throughout your student teaching semester. There’s no such thing as too much student support! Overall, I would absolutely recommend WGU to anyone! Thank you for a wonderful couple of years!
