Professional Career Training: Online Degrees Based on Your Skills and Knowledge
Get the respected and accredited education you want without losing time and money on traditional degree programs. Western Governors' University has a radically simple approach to higher education. Earn your online degree by passing rigorous assessments (such as tests, projects, and assignments) that measure your skills and knowledge in your field of study. We call it competency-based learning.
WGU is not about collecting credits, but instead emphasizes mastery of practical professional skills and knowledge. WGU is a great choice for students who are already working in the field; we value the experience you bring to the table, and use it to expand your horizons even further.
WGU's degree programs reward focused, hard-working professionals. If you are:
- an organized, independent learner
- willing to devote at least 15-20 hours a week to your studies
- someone who requires flexibility in time and place to complete your education,
then WGU could be what you're looking for.
Your WGU program won't be easy, but you'll advance toward your degree as fast as you can learn. The faster you pass our rigorous assessments and demonstrate your competence in your field, the more money you'll save on tuition.
Accredited Online Education
Challenging and efficient. These are the hallmarks of WGU's competency-based approach:
- Convenient Online Learning. Our online model gives you considerable flexibility and control over your education. At WGU, you focus on what's important to you: gaining the practical and professional knowledge you need to advance your career.
- A Rewarding Tuition Schedule. Accelerated learning means lower costs for your education. You'll pay one flat rate per six-month term, regardless of how many competency units you attempt. If you're able to move quickly through the units, you can save a significant amount of money.
- Career Training You Can Trust. WGU is the only university to be certified by four regional accrediting commissions-- which means you can trust the quality and value of a WGU education. WGU's Teachers College is also now NCATE-accredited, the first online university to achieve that distinction.
- Commitment to Your Success. You'll work with a progress manager, faculty mentors and support staff who are dedicated to your success. They'll keep you focused and motivated as you earn your degree.
- Online Degrees in Today's Top Fields. WGU offers multiple program options in healthcare, education, business, and information technology. Whether you're earning a bachelor's or a master's degree, you'll find what you need for career success.
