Same Question here in Ga. I have a BBA mayor in accounting and looking
to get certified as a teacher here.
I call the Certification Agency and they say I'm taking the chance on
not being certified in GA.
So confusing and don't know what to do, I like WGU and what they offer.
Any recommendations will be helpful.!! :)
