WGU, also known as Western Governors University, is an online college that allows people to get their college degrees at an accelerated pace through what’s known as “competency based education”
In today’s video, I’m going to be going over everything you need to know about WGU if you’re a beginner and possibly interested in them. Just attending WGU normally, you can probably graduate with a bachelors in around 2 years, whereas a normal university takes 5.1 years on average. I’m also going to briefly go over strategies that people use with websites like study.com, straighterline.com, and sophia.org to graduate from WGU in even shooter amounts of time, sometimes less than 6 months.

I’ve had a realization that working swing shift for a factory isn’t what I want to build a family.

@JV3Player 2 года назад

The best method for surpassing college the fastest is taking AP classes (you have to pass the exams), dual credit classes (through community college), IB exams, CLEP exams, high scores on the SAT or ACT, summer school classes. Please take advantage of these opportunities in highschool or K-12, because I definitely missed out, and have to take the standard course load at a community college then university, knock those generals out in highschool and get your Associates!!

@dudzgames548 2 года назад

We have the same programs from different universities in the Philippines! It's actually enacted by our congress since the '90s. It's called ETEEAP - EXPANDED TERTIARY EDUCATION EQUIVALENCY ACCREDITATION PROGRAM. It basically measures your competencies and job experiences and converts it into college subject credits then the remaining subjects mostly major subjects those are the ones you needed to finish. In fact, once you graduate it's being recognized as the same diploma as the ones you've taken from traditional college. I'm also planning to enrol soon!

I'm a huge fan of online-first education: I'm almost done with my MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech completely online with a total cost of ~$8,000. The idea of speedrunning a degree at any pace and testing-out of almost any class in a program makes me very skeptical. These programs seem too transactional to be considered equivalent to a 4-year education. I'm glad these options exist for students and challenge the status-quo of accredited education, but I still wish "traditional" universities would add more affordable online programs to legitimize these nontraditional pathways.

@vanessaantoine6808 2 года назад

I noticed Georgia tech charges 1k/credit how did you manage an entire masters at only 8k. Very impressive

Hey! Shane, I know that this video is not related to this, but I was wondering if being a MRI tech is a good idea. I'm going to be a senior in high school and that interests me. What are your thoughts on that career? Thanks

@ladytmomma3192 2 года назад

It's a great idea. You can become a MRI Tech in 2 years by taking a dedicated MRI program at a community college or hospital based program or take the traditional route which is an X ray program for 2 years and a 6 month MRI program after you pass your X Ray registry . The 6 month program can be taken online or in person after you pass your registry. I was an CT Tech for 19 years. I currently work in Radiology Informatics.

@warmike 2 года назад

Before watching the video, my guess: go for an associate's, complete every single dual enrollment and AP class provided by your high school and get credits, cut one of two years. The questions are, 1) wouldn't doing all these AP exams cost more than a year in community college, 2) wouldn't it be better to go to a top tier university that would probably accept you with all these credits, and 3) wouldn't you die of exhaustion doing so many advanced classes in high school?

I'll give you rundown on WGU since I'm doing it also. It's self-paced university that only gives a Pass/no pass grade.

So, you get what you pay for I guess, it's one of the cheapest colleges also.

@vanessaantoine6808 2 года назад

I've been looking into this as I am from the UK and there is no way to get a degree here in under 3 years. Unfortunately like shean said WGU does not accept international students, but TESU excelsior and UMPI do. Each have their own pros and cons and you need to do a little research and see what you want to do in the future and which university gets you the closet to what you want. Examples WGU only uses pass/fail and the gpa is always 3.0 so some people who wish to do masters think this might hinder them being accepted into graduate programs. TESU needs you to take 16 credits with them otherwise you need to pay a residency waiver fee to graduate of about 3.5k$ UMPI is extremely affordable at 1400$ for 8 weeks and you can take as many classes as you want but they don't have wide selection of degree subjects.
