At WGU, your progress through your program is based completely on demonstrating your
competencyproving your skills and knowledge through a series of carefully designed
assessments. WGU programs are not based upon required courses.
Yes, this means you will be "tested". The assessments consist of tests, assignments, and
projects that measure your competence in each subject area. But we allow you to develop your
competency in various ways. And we never require you to take courses on material you already
know. You may have knowledge based upon your prior college or work experience or, while at
WGU, develop your competence through independent study or courses.
