WGU is competency-based
WGU’s rigorous, competency-based approach is ideally suited to self-directed learners
anxious to advance their education and careers efficiently. Unlike traditional and
even other online universities, WGU doesn’t award degrees based on seat time or
on a certain number of required courses. Instead, you earn your degree by demonstrating
your competence in your field. Through independent study, learning resources, and
carefully designed assessments, you learn and master essential skills and knowledge
necessary for success. Assessments take the form of essays, exams, research papers,
and an assortment of projects that can be completed online.
Our competency-based approach measures your progress by successful completion of
challenging assessments. If you have existing competencies from prior work and education,
you may be able to draw upon this experience to complete your assessments faster
and accelerate your degree program.

to education allows for extensive personalization of your program to fit around
