No Matter What Happens, You Can Overcome It

At 16, Joshua O'Nishea was living alone in a house with no working utilities, trying to finish high school. To get by, he took sponge baths in the local McDonald's restroom and did laundry at friends' houses on weekends. With nothing but determination and the positive influence of two of his teachers, Joshua turned his dream of becoming a Nobel Prize-winning scientist into a successful career as a high school science teacher.

Why do WGU students love competency-based education (CBE)? Because CBE makes it possible to accelerate progress through a degree program and potentially graduate faster. By drawing on previous experience or existing knowledge, or by dedicating extra time to your studies, you can pass most courses as quickly as you master the material. This saves you both time and money. Plus, you'll graduate with the confidence that you're fully prepared for real-world jobs.
