"Competency-based…"
"One of the things that interested me the most about the program was the idea of the degree being competency-based. I had been working in the area of education technology for some time. I was excited to find a program that didn't require me to sit through classes in areas where I had already gained experience and knowledge."

|
"Opportunities I needed…"
"Working full-tme both inside and outside the home, having two small children and other external responsibilities, I didn't know how I could physically or emotionally return to college. WGU provided the opportunities I needed to succeed."
|
|
| —Anjeanette Armstrong, WGU graduate, HR trainer |
|
|
"Broadly accepted…"
WGU is riding the wave of an evolution in technology. The notion of competency-based education is becoming broadly accepted because competency-based promotions are the basis for advancement in our industry."
