WGU some n00b questions

staggerlee

Hi all,

Im interested in finding out a few things about WGU and was hoping someone may be able to help fill in a fwe caps!
1: is it availble for students outside of the US?

2: reading the info on the network admin course for example it shows a list of MS Comptia etc certs. Is obtaining the degree as simple as passing the list of certs it mentions or is there other papers tests you need to review?

Thanks for any info

1: I believe it is only available to the US and Canada.

2: There are other classes involved that have tests, projects, or papers.

Hope this helps!

It is currently only for people in the US and Canada unless you are in the Armed Forces or some other form of DoD service.

I just had the exact same thought.

Guess I won't read through all the WGU threads.

What type of degree are you looking for? There are comparable options out there.

Im curious more than anything at this point. I liked the idea of getting a degree mainly though small specific certs. From what i gathered WGU i would spend my time getting the certs they listed then have to do some more "WGU course material/exams" to finish... I will be doing the certs anyway so killing 2 birds with 1 stone seemed an excellent idea. Especially with the open learning type environment.
