I'm 4 months into the program and i am about to begin my last course D 181. I work full time, and I am involved in my church, but I will be able to finish the program in one term. I don't sleep that much though and my family is helping to keep the house in order.
@@Jimothy-723 You have not done your home work, they are accredited , in fact their computer science program is super accredited by ABET , which is the gold standard for all schools seeking a highly sought after Computer Science accrediting agency. The school in its entirety meets the same standards as other well known academic institutions , such as Stanford, University Of Michigan , Ohio State University .
I graduated 4/2/2024 and got my MS in Curriculum and Instruction in 4 months. I kept watching this video and the one from The Purrfect Pencil channel. I enrolled 12/1/2023 and got to my final two classes in January 2024, but those final classes took one month to complete each and I was so devastated initially. Whenever they sent something back for revisions and I wanted to quit, I just kept these videos on repeat. My classes were finished 03/25/2024, but I had to wait for it to be conferred so my graduation date is 04/02/2024. I am proud of myself. 2 months was my goal as well, but I realized something. The important this is to finish. No matter how long it takes to get to the finish line, cross it and go be great! Thank you for making this video.
Thank you so much for sharing this! It was right on time for me. Since I am not working this summer, I am seriously considering completing this program and now I feel like it may actually be possible thanks to you!
Thank you for this video. I received my bachelors through WGU. I really enjoyed my experience and am currently teaching. I’m looking into going for my Masters but wanted more info on their program.
Just want to come on here and set expectations for future Owls-there is 1 test in the 5th course which replaces 3 papers. But, I took it and passed it today! Good luck to all of you on this journey. I, too, should be done by the end of June (two months). Maybe even a month and a half. We’ll see. In the summer, it has been easy to knock out 2 tasks per day
Thank you for this video of your genuine experience with WGU. I am actually looking to start my Masters in Cyber Security and I am feeling very confident in my choice.
Some classes in other programs have tests called Objective Assessments. These are remotely proctored assessments so an external webcam with a webcam is required. Congrats on completing your degree!!
I’m starting June 1st! We only get 8 weeks of summer break so my plan as to atleast finish everything but the capstone completed by then. Thanks so much for this video. I just needed to see it was possible❤
Same here! I go back to work in August so I want to finish all the PA's by then. And use September and October to finish the capstone. Best of luck to you all!
I graduate with my Bachelors in May, looking to start my Masters in July. Any suggestions for a first year teacher who is looking to get their Masters at the same time? Also, I never hear anyone address how payment happens, do they have a payment plan, is it required all up front, etc.
Hey! Thank you so much, for this video !! Do you think you can do a detailed video of the layout of the program. You did in this video but could you possible list out how many papers for each segment of the course
Each course has 2-4 tasks, with the exception of the capstone (last "course") which has 5. The tasks come with a very detailed rubric that explains exactly what the evaluators are looking for, which makes it very clear and easy to manage. You are evaluated by competency for each task by meeting the task requirements, and you can either "pass" (show competency) or your task is resubmitted to you for revisions with the instructors feedback. (This only happened to me a few times with minor issues, like APA formatting errors or needing to rephrase something) You can often choose between either submitting a presentation or a paper. All of the courses come with modules/units with professional cited sources for the content, which you can also use in your task (paper/presentation) which helps a lot because they are already centered on the topic. I hope this helps!
I will add when you stated there is no one to check in on your productivity with the program, mentors check in weekly to offer support, answer questions, and ensure you're making progress until the program is complete.
can I ask for some advice on the capstone please. I have two weeks to do it and want to complete it in a week mainly because I am also in nursing school and they kinda of overlapped but we are in spring break at nursing school this week so I would like to complete this this week. Can I have some tips please.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m enrolled in the MS Curriculum and Instruction program slated to start on May 1st. Did any part of the program require the use of the webcam?
@@mixylove6152 It’s going pretty good. I’ve completed my first course in one month. I wanted to finish it in 3 weeks but I’m giving myself some grace as I work full time teaching and the end of the school year is so busy. But I’m going to pick up the pace once school gets out and plan to finish each course in 10 days.
@@bria_trenee Did you finish? How did you know you wanted to pursue curriculum and instruction? I'm trying to decide which program I want to do this summer.
This is because to get your bachelor’s degree, you need to complete 120 credits. If you take 4 three credit courses per term, you will complete 24 credits for the year. In order to reach 120 credits, it will take 5 years.
It says five years initially. You enroll with four classes. The goal is to finish those four classes asap. I finished my first four in two months! After that your mentor can add more classes! So as you complete, they add classes. Four is the minimum that you must complete in a term but there’s no maximum. You can do as many as you can handle in a term.
@@Prettygirlblessed I know this comment is old but 5 years is if you do the minimum, you’re able to go as fast as you want and there’s lots of people who finish in a year or even 6 months!
I feel like we’re in the same group. I’m mad though because talking to the person for information she said they don’t do that anymore. I could’ve dealt with that but then she said I would have to quit teaching for about 8-10 weeks to do my observation/student teaching. She was nice but very vague and limited with information. So I’m at gcu. I JUST found out tonight that she gave me all of the wrong information. So tomorrow I’m trying to find out about transferring.
Here's what the FTC really says: consumer.ftc.gov/articles/college-degree-scams#signs WGU is fully accredited and never states that you can earn a degree in any specific time frame. You can work as fast or slow as you're able. The ability to offer self-paced courses doesn't make it a scam.
Thank you for sharing! I have three questions: 1) I am hoping to connect with people and so looked at fb, but all the groups are private and their are no pages. Any advice? 2) Do you know who was looking at you papers and leaving comments/deciding if you passed? Was it your mentor or some one else? 3) do you have any experience with scholarships?
To help with question 1, simply ask to join the group to get access to the information. Usually, joining is easy; just answer a few questions and agree to the group rules, and they will approve you. If they ask if you are a current student at WGU, just state that you are a prospective student looking for information before enrolling. I hope this helps.
Hey i have a question so my husband and i are thinking of getting wgu hr management masters … some people how ever said that masters shd be done in person and all.. do u think if u do afters online then its harder to find a job?
As long as the college and program have the appropriate accreditation, your degree will be valid. You shouldn’t have any issue getting employment or promotions as long as the degree is relevant. Online is about convenience to fit into your lifestyle. It doesn’t mean you didn’t work hard or took the easy way out. I earned my masters online and my employer didn’t even ask. My school is has a brick and mortar option too and is fully accredited, I went online cus the school is too far away and it’s more convenient to go online.
I did 18 months of coursework in 2 months! 1. This program takes dedication and hard work. 2. It isn't a shortcut by any means. 3. No job is looking at how long it took me to get my degree and if I was to tell them.. I'm sure they would be amazed
I'm 4 months into the program and i am about to begin my last course D 181. I work full time, and I am involved in my church, but I will be able to finish the program in one term. I don't sleep that much though and my family is helping to keep the house in order.
I got my MBA in nine weeks from WGU. It's the real deal!
WOW! That's amazing!
Wow that’s amazing. I’m thinking about going to WGU

likely a cheater, according to the federal government.

@@bria_trenee Did you finish? How did you know you wanted to pursue curriculum and instruction? I'm trying to decide which program I want to do this summer.
You said there weren't any tests, but I keep hearing the biggest downfall to WGU is the proctoring?
Did u have any proctored exams within the courses?
Congrats I’ll be done in November
Can I ask which Facebook group you joined? I'm seeing a lot of options online!
Can you transfer graduate credits?
Can you take WGU credits and go to another university?
Is all the courses in this major writing a papers and presentations or is it mix of quizzes or exams. because I don’t like exams.
When you finish the program will your mentor help you getting a job??
was someone watching you do the english and math test
There are no test for this specific program! But for programs in which there are, the exams are proctored.
@@akaylamiranda im talking about math and English
