“Because of WGU's competency-based program, I didn't have to get into things that I already knew. Instead I was able to use that for the things that were more challenging for me to learn.”

Designed for working adults.
At WGU, you’re not committed to attend class at a certain time, complete homework on a given schedule, or log “attendance” hours. You’ll earn your degree by proving what you’ve learned—either from your studies or what you already know through your work and life experience. How quickly you progress is largely up to you.
Once you’ve mastered the concepts in your coursework, you’ll prove your competency through tests, papers, projects, or other assessments. You’ll build solid professional credentials specifically designed to help you prepare for a career in mid- to upper-level management positions in business, industry, and nonprofit organizations.
Efficient
Save time and money by focusing your efforts where they matter the most.
How much do you already know? How fast can you learn? Today’s adult students come from different professional backgrounds with varying levels of knowledge and experience. Competency-based programs empower you to take the most efficient path to complete your studies.
Flexible
Learn on your own terms.
What works best for you? No two students—or their schedules—are the same. Whether you’re at your best in the early morning or more energized when you get home from work, your study schedule can be personalized to accommodate your lifestyle and responsibilities. While you will be required to maintain a base level of consistent progress through your program, WGU is designed to empower you to maximize your personal schedule by allowing you to build a study plan that fits into your life—not one that requires you to rearrange it.
Results
Know you’re learning real-world skills.
Who will recognize your management credentials? Today's employers look for management professionals who have the knowledge, skills and experience to improve organizational performance. WGU’s online Master of Business Administration program consists of balanced areas of study relevant to the needs and demands of a competitive marketplace, competency-based assessments, and a capstone project to showcase your executive-level decision-making prowess.
