Please do one for UpGrad. They took my money. Still saving up looking for attorney to represent me

Love this. Please, do one for education platform Upgrad. Took my income and still no refund yet.

Brick & Mortar schools are scams.

Can i transfer credits from the UoPeople to WGU?

How to get admission in WGU pls tell details about it

It's irresponsible and hideous. All my coworkers who've gone through it would never go back again. Mentors and Teachers don't do their jobs, have attitudes beyond imagining and act entitled. I'm a 4.0 Honors Student of 2 prior schools and this place has done so much shit to me it's unreal... I've had faculty not do their jobs, lie to me, coerce me into doing side-work that actually pins blame on the student so that if you take them to court in the future... they can pull that out and say you were 'Unprofessional' and 'Unethical' and all that horseshit. The depts. don't even collaborate and they don't and WONT handle anything for you... everything is dumped on you. You Mentor's responsibilities, will become yours. Many of their staff are given degrees then given jobs their to make them look legitimate.. if you literally work with those people like Teachers and Mentors they don't know much of anything and they do not like returning mail and answering questions half the time. WGU wants you to drop all your money into them and then they close the trap on you. I've filed formal complaints asking for help and they ignore them all... basic things like asking for replies to emails and communication. I went to the BBB and reported them... all of a sudden they start to care! MAGICALLY... they're literally ruining my financial aid right now having me on endless term breaks, holding my degree plan hostage... they are deceptive and lazy and no one cares. My Observational Site teachers were never contacted by them... they don't work. There are better schools now with online programs, let this place go under. I'm currently working with a legal team concerning my plethora of issues. By the way, their staff aren't beneath yelling at you over the phone or even in an email, unprovoked, because they don't want to work with you outside of the lazy system they've set up, or they just feel like they have power and control over you. Being cordial with them and honest does not work either, I've been that way the entire time and they take full advantage of you.

Joining the FB group! This is my plan to get MPH. Keep us updated please!

Great thanks! How does it work for employment experience?

Did you also schedule meetings with instructors regularly? It seems like instructors would be helpful to speak with since they are knowledgeable in the subject matter vs. Mentors who are more knowledgeable about the WGU process, is that correct?

Thank you!

Great advice! Though I’m a bit nervous to return back to school, let alone an “online” university college model. This is still better than going onsite on campus and way more affordable in terms of tuition/gas/wear and tear(car)/time. My question is are these mentors really strict or push you to complete your college work? I know there’s no time limit but you have to keep up with class. I’d like to have a bachelors it’s something I always felt left out in my mind. Formal degrees nowadays are not exactly necessary to get good jobs but it’s something I like to have to get passed the HR phase.

How do you determine which one is hard vs easy?

Started on July, transferred about 50% of my degree from sophia and sdc. So far, I'm already at 60% of my program, though and the month its not over yet!

I am a current WGU student in my second term. Another pro about them is that they include industry certifications with their degree programs. Other colleges basically get you ready to take the certification exams, but they are not included in the tuition. You have to take them separately and pay for the exams. In the school of information, technology certifications are included for every degree such as Cisco, CompTIA, AWS, Azure among others. And yet another pro is all the additional resources that the college offers. It depends on your degree program what resources are available, But they offer other learning platforms to use such as Udemy, Pluralsight, and others for IT. There are also things that all students can use such as career services that offer various workshops for helping you with all kinds of things from interviewing to resumes and others. Tutoring services, the handshake platform is a great resource for jobhunting and networking with different companies. There is an awesome audio series with a huge catalog of topics and many more things that people never talk about because a lot of students don’t take advantage of all these great services.

I anticipate starting WGU in September. I'm a bit nervous about it. Thanks for this useful knowledge video.

What about CEPH accreditation? They are not accredited.

The program is not CEPH accredited. What is your opinion on that?

Join our Facebook group: “WGU Public Health”

I was always wondering what the difference was 🤔

Great video!

So excited for this program. I’ll join the Facebook group!

So helpful! Thanks for the clarification

This is by far the best explanation out there!

I think the reason WGU’s legitimacy is called into question is due to flat out gate keeping. In the past if somebody grew up lower class, had a family, did poorly in high school, or had to work a full time job they did not have the option to go to college. Attending college for a long time was an exclusive opportunity solely for those of the upper class. Now people with less fortunate backgrounds have the opportunity to earn the same credentials as privileged individuals and a lot of them hate having more competition. I saw the same thing about 5 or so years ago with some college students from privileged backgrounds complaining about enlisted service members attending competitive programs and even prestigious programs for free via the GI Bill since most enlisted service members do not come from privileged backgrounds. They said that they think that enlisted service members should only be allowed to earn trades.

Loved your diploma mill video!

Wow! You nailed it!

I love the presentation format!

Bro why do our voices sound so similar 😂

Wow you really knocked it out of the park with this one 😮

I know this is a presentation, but this would be really nice to listen to as a podcast!

“It’s a transaction rather than an investment” Perfect explanation!

I wish I knew these before starting at WGU. You the man!

I finally found a solid list of the pros and cons from WGU. Thank you so much!

Thank you for these insights

I’m starting WGU in August.. your advice is awesome! It’s been a while since I’ve been in school, and my first time doing WGU.

This is great information! I’m considering WGU and it’s nice to see a clear list and explanation of the pros and cons

This was incredibly helpful! I had no idea that there was a referral program. Does family/friends have to enroll at WGU in order to get paid?

I’m so sick of flashcards, this is great!

This is just what I needed. THANK YOU!

This is extremely clear and well written!

Is there a PDF or way to access your book?

I love that this is straight to the point and easy to follow along to 😊

This is exactly what I was looking for!

You are so thorough! Excited to listen to this while I commute to work

I can’t begin to tell you how badly this is needed! I get tired of scrolling through 300 pages of bullet points in the KA document, it’s nice to have a format that’s easy to listen to
