Ask HN: Has anyone here graduated from WGU, or know someone who has? How was it?

I've just finished my Associate's degree in Computer Science, and i'm planning to transfer into Bachelor's program for the same. However, i'm certain that i want to pursue a career in information security, and i haven't found many institutions that would let me specialize while an undergrad; There are a few, but relocating for school will be extremely difficult for me.

Enter Western Governor's University, which is an accredited, online university that offers information security degrees at the Bachelor and Masters level. I would be able to transfer into the program fairly easily, I can afford it, and most importantly (for me, at least) It's self-paced, and i can focus on one class at a time, rather than spinning plates.

My biggest concern, however, is how relevant the material and quality of instruction would be. I have seen online education of excellent quality before (MIT open courseware), but i haven't found too much on WGU that i feel is unbiased or reliable.

Does anyone on HN have any thoughts? or better yet, has anyone here graduated from WGU's cybersecurity programs?

I know someone that went through it, my impression after talking to him was "meh". I feel like if you are smart enough to learn on your own, it could be good if you need that piece of paper to open some doors.
