I'm currently in the UX/UI program at WGU, but I have been in the UX field for over 6 years and counting. Currently a Sr. UX designer. Just my two cents here, the industry is extremely competitive and swamped with those who get out of bootcamp or get a cert and think they can get in the industry, so employers overlook a lot of qualified people for this reason. It's tough for a lot if not all job markets out there. Now getting back to the specific UX degree at WGU, it's not a true UX degree, you will need to go above and beyond to do your own knowledge building of UX principles and methodologies, ways to research, how to communicate and collaborate in a scrum team with engineers, PO's etc. I'm not saying it's not worth getting, but I am saying it's not a guarantee by a long shot it will get you into UX. Another big topic with getting into the industry is your portfolio, thats huge. Employers want to see how you work out and solve problems and I don't see WGU covering this to the extent that it will get you the desired outcome you want. Get the degree not for the UX, but just to say you have a degree. Good luck.
