A supported, personalized experience.
WGU is different from other online universities—in the best possible ways! Take a look at what we mean:

Alumni Support
Faculty
SUPPORTING YOU:
An entire team of faculty members has one goal in mind: your success. Your Program Mentor is your individually assigned faculty member, providing regular program guidance and instruction from the day you start, to the day you graduate. In addition, Course Instructors provide regular, subject-matter instruction and support, typically one-on-one, throughout each course you take.
Learning
Establish YOUR ROADMAP: A personalized learning plan.
Your program is made up of a series of courses, each a personalized journey toward subject mastery. A preassessment provides insight into what you already know. You’ll then learn what you still need to learn, using online learning resources—available 24/7—along with one-on-one or cohort-based faculty instruction.
Assessment
Learn it, PROVE IT: Show you know your stuff.
WGU measures learning, not time, so each course in your program culminates in an assessment—a test, paper, project, or presentation that allows you to prove what you know. As soon as you’re ready, you take the assessment. Take proctored exams from the comfort of your own home—via webcam, any time of day!
Capstone
Apply it to the REAL WORLD: You’ll solve a problem.
You’ll complete a final capstone project that allows you to show off everything you’ve learned by working through a simulated business problem. You’ll integrate competencies learned throughout the program, putting your knowledge and skills to the test and preparing you to apply your expertise to your current role or enhance your marketability for advanced roles in your field.
Alumni Support
Once you're a WGU Night Owl, you're ALWAYS a Night Owl.
