Rating 4 out of 5

I have been going to WBU for 1 year at the Alaskan campus. The courses are informative and class sizes are good. The instructors have been very clear and knowledgeable. I attended both online and in-classroom courses. The in-classroom subjects have a far better study environment than on-line due to glitches or the nonpersonal attention being taken out of lectures because of COVID. I work full time and attend classes as a student in the evenings. I recommend Wayland Baptist University and have enjoyed a majority of the work and subjects they have to offer in my Business degree program.

Don?t come unless you want experience high school again also dorms are non privacy because they like to hear about your social life. Office people don?t care. It?s hard being yourself so if you do come here I wish you the best of luck and to those who like looking for trouble this is your place. Had to change school because of their stupidity and not in a good way.
