What Students Are Saying

wgu is a competency based school with wonderful learning resources. if you are competent in a subject already you don't have to re-learn it, just take the test and if you pass it, you pass the class.
Elizabeth from Middle River, MN
i have found the assignments and assessments a challenge and it is a true measure of the knowledge you should be learning.
Cheryl from Galena, MO
i can not adequately answer this question as i have not yet started the program.
Joey from Southaven, MS
i will give it a 5-star for academic rigor.
Jo from Quincy, FL
wgu assists you with putting demands on yourself and assisting you to reach those goals.
Tiffany from Woodbridge
Some of the most challenging programs that will prepare you for the real world! Not very traditional, but will make sure you know the subject instead of just testing your ability to memorize.
