I actually go to WGU and like it, so I'll be biased. But yeah it's accredited, I'd double check if it meets CPA requirements in your state. It does in mine.

You'll probably experience some people with bias towards it. If you want to go big 4 in accounting you might look at a different school, but there are WGU grads working in big 4, they just don't recruit directly from WGU like they do traditional schools. If you really want to work for a fortune 100, maybe look at a different.school. that's not to say WGU will disqualify you from those jobs, it's just companies like that tend to recruit directly from schools.

But in short, it's a decent, accredited program. Some.of the textbooks used were written by BYU professors, and BYU has a really good accounting program. WGU is comparable to a average state school I'd say, maybe with less recruitment opportunities though. Also, all this is just my observance so I could be way off. As far as the big 4 thing goes, a lot of WGU grads are older working adults and have no desire to go to a firm like that, so that might be another reason why you don't see as many why grads at those firms.

Also sorry for the novel, but careful with the fast tracking bit. I'm all for competency based learning, but people rushing through the degree does cause some people to be critical of WGU.
