If you're doing the non traditional online route, a regionally accredited not for profit school would work better .just fyi.

Be careful, the school is currently under federal audit , sounds like they're having similar financial problems like ITT tech which is now defunct.
September 2017 federal audit concluded that many WGU courses do not offer regular and substantive interaction with an instructor, and much of the curriculum fails to meet federal eligibility standards for financial aid
More fyi- don't get caught up in a diploma mill. the summary indicates that school is not up to dept of education standards-
at least 69 of the 102 courses were not designed to offer regular and substantive interaction with an instructor and, therefore, did not meet the regulatory definition of distance education." Consequently, the audit found that most courses at the University fell short of the required standards for Title IV of the Federal Financial Aid Act as outlined in a 1992 law that defines financial aid eligibility.[87][8] The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Inspector General recommended that WGU repay the federal government more than $712 million.[88]
Education Dept.'s inspector general calls for Western Governors to repay $713 million in federal aid

The curriculum is for people with experience in the field already, I can care less about instructor contact. But thanks for the heads up fasho. I knew they had got in some shyt but didn’t know the specifics
No and I don't owe much. I didn't get a job in my field of study but have a job that will let me pay it off within a year.
I look at my bill like
imagining if I had debt levels I see referred to on the news.
Honestly, if you don't feel like it was worth it, go do something that pays better and come back later... if you even feel like taking a paycut then

It came in (4) 5k increments as long as I maintained a 3.0 gpa.
It was on some fluke shyt man. Seen the posting in the hallways. I applied, wrote a letter & did an interview. Boom.
I'm still mad at myself because I never applied to a big one after that point. I should of applied to 100's after I secured that one. I got a couple k here and there. But nothing over 5k. They out there man.
damn never heard of that. where can i sign up for one?

School should have a database set up and you can filter by major, ethnicity, $$ hardship etc.
Clubs also be giving out scholarships.
Like I said, I seen mine posted on the wall.

And after checking reviews, most of the people who wrote negative reviews are ITT tech people with only experience there or people who have personal issues like not having an instructor 24/7 or admin issues
