Travel, family, and grueling work schedules are all factors preventing Servicemembers and Veterans from pursuing a degree. WGU’s competency-based and self-paced education model is especially suited for the rigors and unpredictability of military and post-military life. You’ll study and take exams on your schedule anywhere in the world with an internet connection, regardless of the time zone - particularly important during PCSs and deployments. Progress is measured by what you know, not class time - in other words you “train to standard, not to time.” All WGU’s IT degrees include industry certifications built into the degree at no additional cost.
