FHSU vs WGU (Pros & Cons)

itangel

Hi guys, I apply to both schools and I am wondering what are the pro and cons between the two schools from people attending them. I will be taking the networking classes, however I guess to me would be how much of my devry university ncm credits will transfer over which are 99.

Thanks!

FHSU, from my understanding, will be like attending a traditional school, so you'll have a traditional model. WGU has a syllabus (Course of Study) that will give a student structure if he/she is not already competent in that subject OR needs more structured guidance to pass a course (Math for me was like that...I actually did the homework, and did not ****, for I would only be cheating myself...lol)

You will probably best served going to both WGU stickies (on the top of IT Jobs/Degree subforum...) and reading both of them from the beginning. I guarantee you it will not be a waste of time and you can scan through a good deal of the older posts. Much better than waiting for someone to answer a question that's been ask a gazillion times.

As for how many credits will transfer...it depends on either school and what answer you get back.

One thing you will want to watch out for is accreditation between schools and to make sure they are no a profit based school (I know WGU is not a profit based school but these should be prim considerations when choosing a school).

Ic, thanks for the advice, WGU and FHSU is no-profit schools just have to make a decision between the two and which one will be better for me specially when I will be landing a new job here too not to soon.

Anyone know which school is technically cheaper without accelerating?
