Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
Western Governors University • Salt Lake City, UT
Studying BS Information Technology (completion in 2006)
• 7/18/2011
"I have a family and a full time job. An online campus with a flexible schedule was just what I needed."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Great programs, great advisers. For a self-motivated working professional trying to complete a degree, this is a perfect fit. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | The program is popular among working professionals. A motivated student can finish the program fairly quickly. |
| Program Quality | 9 | I appreciated being able to work on my own schedule while still having a semester deadline. I also loved that my CISSP certification counted toward my degree. |
| Instruction | 5 | I have nothing to report. It was mostly a textbook-based degree. |
| How Difficult | 7 | Some courses were more difficult than others. One had to be self managed to succeed. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I could wing some classes based on my work experience. Some class subjects were new to me and I had to rely on my textbooks. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | I could take as many classes as I wanted in a semester. If I was done with one class and still had time left in a semester, I could enroll in another class. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | It is an online campus. We had great access to library resources. |
| Social Life | 2 | Again, it was an online campus. There was not much social interaction happening there. One had to be expecting this, though. |
| Placement Services | 2 | Most of the student at WGU are already working professionals. They don't provide job placement services. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | Nothing to report here. Most of the student at WGU are already working professionals, so not much alumni support is needed. |
