I'm currently in contact with an online school called Wester Governers University. Just curious if anyone had heard anything good or bad about it. I really want to finish my degree in special education and this looks like the best option for me. But I want to hear from others who have information about this program.
Hi
I graduated from WGU in Dec 2005 with my BA and certification to teach PreK-8th grade. It was a blessing to me because I wanted to finish my degree and be home with my kids.
I had about 1 1/2 years finished in my degree. They took most of my credits. It took me about 2 years to finish. You are assigned a mentor to keep you on track. In the very beginning I asked to be re-assigned another mentor. After that it was smooth sailing. It was cheaper for me as well vs a regular university.
I am thinking about going back to complete my Masters in Special Education.
If you have any questions feel free to ask here or contact me personally. :)
Good Luck!
I have to people I know that have gone through it. One got his teaching through them and the other one is doing her mater's with them right now. They both liked it.
ok great, thanks for the feedback, I just wanted to make sure I would be able to get a job after graduating from there.
Phew! I was wondering about this too. I just ran across their website tonight because I was trying to find a cheaper alternative to the University of Phoenix. Early Childhood/Special Ed is what I plan on going for as well. If you enroll, keep us updated on how it goes! Good luck! :)
Hey Teachers (or kin to)
