Benefit from What You Know

What is competency-based education? Simply put, it measures learning rather than time. Students progress through courses as soon as they can prove they’ve mastered the material, rather than advancing only when the semester or term ends. If a student can learn faster, spend more time on schoolwork, or lean on knowledge they already have from previous work or school experience, they can accelerate. With 24/7 access to online learning resources to engage with on their schedule, students embark on a learning journey tailored exactly to where their knowledge currently is—and where it needs to be. In addition, faculty members are on hand to provide personalized, one-on-one learning support when it’s needed.

General Transfer Guidelines

If you've taken courses or received a degree from another college or university, you're probably wondering what will transfer into a WGU program.

A personal evaluation of your transcripts from prior colleges will be needed to determine whether you will clear any degree requirements.

Transcripts are required at the undergraduate level to determine transfer credit. Transcripts are required at the graduate level for proof of completion of a bachelor's degree.

Speak to an Enrollment Counselor to get more information on what may transfer. You will be required to submit official copies of your transcripts for an official evaluation.

To have an official transcript evaluation completed, you will need to submit the online application form and pay the application fee. See the online Application For Admission form.

If you have completed college courses but not earned a degree of any type, you may clear some degree requirements through a course-by-course transcript evaluation.
