Hello Ms. Chung, I don't know if you remember me, but I am Vincent. The whole class and other class of 5th grade you taught the one virtual year at Kennedy has promoted to middle school including me today. I hope you are proud and have had a great life since that 5th grade year. You gave me many memories.

I wish I discovered WGU earlier. I wasted so much time & money on brick & mortar schools with the same accreditation. WGU has an MS in Cybersecurity, for example, accredited by NSA/DHS. Their MBA is also accredited. I wish I knew this. I helped my sister, however, by saving her time & money for her MSN in nursing. She is now a student at WGU

Hi. Would you recommend trying to get a Masters in Teaching from WGU (or any school) if I didn't major in education for my bachelors? Is there a way of getting teacher certifications in additional and/or outside of an online Masters in Teaching program? All I have been able to find so far are in-person Masters in Teaching programs that offer teaching licenses etc, but as they are in person they are clearly much more expensive and time consuming that an online degree. Any advice on this? Thanks.

The cost is the biggest determining factor! This school is very affordable for the masters.I’m hoping to join and finish within a year!

Thank you for the advice with the mentor. Would you say this is not possible to complete in six months if you’re also doing student teaching? I would like to treat this like a full time job studying 40-60 hours a week.

Hello, I was also looking into the program but I was in between curriculum & instruction, instruction & design and learning & tech, I was gearing more toward curriculum & instruction, but I don’t have access to a classroom yet, since I am not a classroom teacher yet I am just subbing at the moment, so since you completed learning& tech, ( I am not tech savvy, ) how hard would it be and how soon you need find a group for the program for capstone and etc, how was the capstone, please let me know, b/c I have no idea what learning & tech is about really lol( is it about using different apps, like Kahoot seesaw and google classroom how deep into tech do you go into)

Amen!!!

Thank you for this! I’m seriously inspired. I wanted to ask, do you feel like you learned something during your program? I’m wondering how effective WGU is at actually teaching its students.

Hi! For the program I did (learning and tech), there were no observations! My final capstone research paper was pretty long (like 45 pages?) but keep in mind that it's basically a cut and paste of everything you've done so far. So as long as you keep the same research problem, all you need to do at the end is put it all together! I didn't present it, the graders graded the paper, and returned it if I needed to make any changes. You are given a template which helps a lot! No exit exam, just your capstone paper is all they need. (There are two multiple choice tests throughout the program though.)

Thankfully they provide templates so you'll follow those! Some papers were about 4-5 pages, but the ones towards the end of the program were about 15-20! If you keep the same instructional problem, you'll just copy and paste at the end so it'll be long (like 20+ pages) but it'll be work you've already done. They're all APA style! And it wasn't too difficult but they just take a while to complete. I wouldn't call it busy work since the papers will ultimately connect to your capstone! :D
