CBE: How to Earn Your Degree—Faster Why do WGU students love competency-based education (CBE)? Because CBE truly makes it possible for them to graduate faster. CBE courses base completion on mastery of skills and knowledge, not time. In other words, as soon as students know what they need to, they can complete their course. No waiting for a new term. By drawing on previous experience, existing knowledge, or dedicating extra time to their studies, students can pass courses faster, shortening their time to graduation, which can also save money. LEARN HOW CBE WORKS     What I Wish I'd Known Sooner WGU students and alumni were asked what advice they would give their past selves if they could go back and talk to themselves before they started their degree program.
