WGU Students Graduate in about 2.4 Years—Are You Next?

You’ve got a busy schedule and not a lot of time to waste. We’ve got degree programs that take this into account. Why take four years to earn a bachelor’s degree when you already know your stuff? Our unique format rewards you for your existing knowledge and allows you to fast-track your degree. At WGU, we ditch the busywork. Pass assessments and speed through material you already know. Our students use their existing knowledge to earn a bachelor’s degree in 2.4 years on average.* Here’s how WGU is different.

  • Competency-based education. Many students already have the skills but just need the degree to prove it. We offer degrees based on competence only. It means that if you know the material, you can take a test to prove it and move on. Spend time learning new skills and get credit for what you already know to go quickly and graduate sooner.

  • Unlimited courses for one flat rate. Pay for a six-month term and finish as many courses as you’re able to in that time. Complete all your courses in fewer terms to earn your degree sooner and for less.

  • Flexible scheduling and no class times. WGU’s bachelor’s and master’s degree programs are 100% online, with no set class times. This means you can work on your degree anywhere, any time. Keep working, fulfill family responsibilities, and continue living your busy life.

  • Tuition you can afford. WGU’s low, flat-rate tuition makes investing in a degree worth it. WGU students see their degree pay for itself much faster than other online universities.
