This program will provide you with the IT network management skills you need to succeed. The IT program is best suited for experienced professionals with bachelor’s degrees in information technology or information systems with an emphasis or coursework in advanced networking concepts. If you have significant experience in IT networking, you can use your knowledge to move more quickly through the required subject area assessments. However, this is not an “easy” program. You are a good candidate for our online IT degree only if you are prepared to work independently, study hard, and pass the required assessments.

As a WGU student you progress through your program by passing assessments. In consultation with your mentor, you set the pace at which you prepare for and take the assessments. Consequently, some WGU students with strong academic or career experience in the fields are able to go faster than the standard rate of progress. However, doing so isn’t easy. Many of the assessments are quite challenging, and students sometimes overestimate the knowledge they possess when they enter a program. On the other hand, a highly-motivated, self-disciplined individual is precisely the kind of student who does well at WGU. Speak to an Enrollment Counselor to discuss whether you’re the kind of student who might go faster.
