Western Governors University

Anyone have any experiences with this school, its students or its reputation that they'd like to share?

Several of my employees have used this school, and it's been very good. You can knock out a bunch of credits for very little money if you're motivated, apparently. Probably better for some fields than others I would say. FWIW, all the people I know who used it were in some sort of IT degree program. can't speak for the business or other programs. The actual classes are all with normal colleges (UCal  system, Utah, Oregon, NMState, etc) in a partnership arrangement.

Have any of them tried transferring credits to other colleges? Their accreditation seems to be all well and good but I'm no expert in such matters. I've seen one complaint about their courses not transferring(couple people argued against this person) and a few about dealing with their financial aid office but mostly good stuff.

No, I don't know. The grading model is not standard so there might be issues. I had a ton of issues transferring credits from one major normal university to another because the first one was on quarters and the second was semesters. So I'd imagine similar issues would apply here.

Alright, thanks for the feedback.
