  • You can study at the time and place you choose, earning your degree on your schedule.
  • You can accelerate your degree program utilizing prior experience.

  • You will work with a dedicated mentor who will guide you through your assessments and through to graduation.
  • You will have access to a variety of learning resources that will provide you with the information and expertise you need to be successful.

Here's what one graduate had to say about these benefits:

"The most rewarding thing about WGU was the flexibility. I could move forward quickly to complete courses to my satisfaction. I could stay engaged with my family and at work. WGU pushes you to focus, to narrow in on what it is that you want to accomplish. They give you all the resources and tools."

Our core principles

 
 
Dear Septian,

WGU Texas can help you reach your personal and academic goals. A major part of how we do that is by adhering to the following core principles:
 
Every WGU Texas graduate is highly competent.
The competencies and courses required for your degree program are research-based and developed by a council of experts in higher education and the industry. Using the most rigorous standards available, these competencies are determined to be those necessary for your career success. When you graduate, you can be certain you have the knowledge and skills employers demand.

WGU Texas verifies the competencies of students through assessments, not credit hours.
Unlike other online universities, WGU Texas awards degrees based on passing a series of assessments that measure your skills and knowledge in your chosen field. This can be advantageous for you if you possess significant experience already, as you can use this experience to complete your assessments faster, ultimately saving you time and money.
 
These are just a couple of our core principles we hold as a university. If you want to talk more about our commitments to you, contact your Enrollment Counselor. We look forward to answering your questions.

Best regards,

Daren Upham
