Education You Deserve, at the Pace You Choose
At WGU, our unique learning model is designed to help you succeed. Whether you're currently working full-time, have family responsibilities, or are dealing with other elements of a busy life, competency-based education can help you meet your educational goals on your timeline. Competency-based education means that you can move through courses as quickly as you master the material, saving you time and money.
- No class time. Competency-based education means there are no assigned class times, no set schedules, and no deadlines. You read, watch videos, and study course materials whenever works for you and your schedule.
- Move through courses faster. With competency-based education, you are able to move through courses as quickly as you can master the material. You will take assessments to prove your competency in a course and move on to the next as soon as you pass.
- Flexible scheduling for your busy life. Decide if you want to do schoolwork on nights, weekends, in-between shifts, or while your children are at school. At WGU, online, competency-based programs let you be in the driver's seat of your education.
