For those interested, WGU is approved for military tuition assistance. This may make it VERY appealing to active duty military. According to their web-site: "Beginning January 1, 2006, the competency-based programs at Western Governors University will be approved for Tuition Assistance for active-duty servicepersons. This approval is granted after a rigorous review by the Department of Defense that affirms the substantive quality of WGU programs and the comparability of WGU's competency units and traditional credits.
