Asked by Jake DIm thinking about getting my secondary education degree there with a science teacher cert. and was wondering if anyone knew if they were a good online school, and if I had a good chance at finding a good job afterwards if I went to school there.

I am working on a Masters in Math Ed. as we speak. In fact, you are lucky, since I am wasting time on Yahoo Answers instead of doing my reading. Here is the scoop: WGU is accredited by 3 or 4 educational institutions across the US, so that is legit. Honestly though, if you don't have a bachelors already, I wouldn't recommend going there. Like the other person suggested, it will be better for you professionally to go to a "brick and mortar" school. The costs are about the same, maybe a little more expensive, but worth it as you will be getting much more personal guidance in a tough field. It is difficult to enter the teaching profession except in a few areas of the country. Maybe not as hard as the corporate world, but not easy, not even for math. I had to interview 5 or 6 times to get my first position, and even with experience it isn't easy finding a new job. Feel free to email me if you have any specific questions. And if you havn't, you should browse their website:
