It is surprisingly affordable, and you can get as much out of it as effort you put in. It is also a fully-accredited institution.

WGU graduate here, I received my Bachelor of Science in Information Technology last year, averaging 24 credits per term. WGU has been good for the credential and for seriously strengthening my ability to self-learn, but it hasn't been terribly good for my career. Networking is seriously important and the industry, and it is nearly impossible to do within WGU.

WGU is a interesting set up- they are very fully online and you can consume course work at your own pace, and that pace can be very rapid indeed. I have a colleague who completed the entire MBA program in under 100 days. A WGU degree isn't going to open up too many doors for got by itself, but if you are just looking to learn a subject its a good option.
