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.

@shane flunked my k-12 lol, but would i still be eligible?
Shane I don't think you receive nearly enough credit for the work you do on this channel. I've watched your videos the last 5 years I've been in college on and off. Thank you.
Appreciate it!
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!!
Nice, bro.❤️ It's good to know. In my country, Burma, student have to attend 5 years bachelor in University no matter what. I hope this should happen in my country.
Agreed!
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!
Excellent videos as always, Shane. It would be interesting to hear your opinion on getting a degree (from trade to PhD) for the purpose to get a job in USA. Keep the good work!
It's always a case by case basis but in general I would say no. PhDs are almost never worth it. Better to learn a valuable, highly coveted skill, which I talk about a lot on this channel.
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.
I noticed Georgia tech charges 1k/credit how did you manage an entire masters at only 8k. Very impressive
@@vanessaantoine6808 it’s the Online Masters in Computer Program (OMSCS). It’s administered fully online and grants the same degree as on-campus for a much lower cost.
If the entire point is to learn the material, what is the problem with learning it on your own timeframe and testing-out?
@@brianrigney9462 I don't think the learning experience of working through challenging assignments/projects (all types: code, written, presentations...) and the subsequent feedback can be properly substituted with an exam. A student might know what a pointer is, but the student who worked through 10 null-pointer errors understands what, why, and how to fix it.
@@Vim_Tim there are multiple projects required for the higher level CS courses at WGU, it's not just exams
Damn… the 🐐 DROPPED another banger!

Your a hero to me for all the work you do for people.
Take 5 classes (3 credits each) over the course of 4 semesters (which are 3 months each), pass all your classes, and boom, an AA degree in one year.
It’s 3am and I’m working nights at my factory job. I’ve been here for the last 10 years. Thank you Shane and also shoutout to Josh for the insight on this school. You guys convinced me to get my degree in IT & start a career in Cybersecurity. I got married a couple months ago. I’ve had a realization that working swing shift for a factory isn’t what I want to build a family.
Do you think you could do a degree tier list on working adults going back to school?
I was just about to start at WGU. Glad I found this video.
Haha save yourself a little time and money. The counselors will usually try to get you to join right away, which makes sense because the school will make more money that way.
I live in the Caribbean thank you so much. I need to finish my degree.😁
Shane is freaking amazing
Appreciate it Derick! Gonna come out with a more comprehensive video on the subject pretty soon, this one was just a high level overview.
@@ShaneHummus That sounds great! Thanks a lot for that, I'm excited to watch it already! I'll be tuning in closely to the channel :)'
I wish I knew all of this before I started college
Thank you for this shane
Explained it so well, even I can understand :)
very good and helpful :D
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
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.
@@ladytmomma3192thanks for your valuable info😊
Can you make an updated spreadsheet with the finance degree in supply chain degree?
Please make a video for international students who are not USA resident.
Thank you Shane.
Thank you for sharing
What is top up course
👍👍👍👍👍😎 THANK YOU 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Shane!
You got it Lauren!
Do you have a chart for the B.S. User Experience degree with WGU to get the credits?
It matters what the hiring manager thinks. Cheers!
To get a degree in college you would need to do well in any of the courses and get a better grade in order for you to get one
I've been wondering, Is this avaliable only for high-school graduates? Since where I live we have options to earn a bachelor's while still in high-school. The degree depends on how fast you complete it (as it is also online), But it's still something which might take 3 years, like a normal degree.
POV: You are going to work in Computer Science related jobs and you aren't stupid enough to waste 3 years just to learn basic MatLab and Pascal
Is there any competency based education degree in music, for being a music teacher in high school. Thank you!
Hi Shane, Great stuff. The ITIL Certification in this case, does it refer to ITIL 4 Foundation Certification?
Thank goodness I subscribed
Does this apply to people outside the US?
Unfortunately, WGU is not available for those outside the US. However, look into some of the other colleges that faciliate this method to get similar results (probably a bit longer though)
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.
Have you decided to study somewhere eventually?
Thanks for the information, very useful to know for international students.
I am the proof that it can be done, I am an online international student of SNHU and UMPI
I got my mines thur target. Target pay for it for free
How do you feel about the University of the People?
I like the idea of it, but it's not respected enough for me to recommend
@@ShaneHummus University of the People is on the brink of getting regionally accredited. Being a student of UoPeople, I can tell that this University is a hidden gem. The reason why everyone is skeptical about it now is because they are ‘tuition-free’ and ‘online’.
It is Nationally accredited, not worth it...imo
We dont have these in my country
Im so sad
I wish if i was in USA
I am the proof that it can be done, I am an online international student of SNHU and UMPI
@@yasminzahra3333 hey how's it going so far ?
Thanks for this information. Curious if you know how well these credits will transfer, if a master’s degree is pursued, after this route is taken? Concerned if credits will be honored.
Is there any such university that works for international students?
There are, I am an online international student for both SNHU and UMPI, I want to completion my Bachelor degree and test out these university, so I can share...
Thank you
This is a nice video ❤ I was In need of a job promotion this year and I was told to bring my college degree or diploma so I had no option than to get it from a vendor online

He on ig
Saw this comment earlier was skeptical about it before trying dude out before I’m glad I did try him out
I’m 31 years old trying to get into college! I want to go for construction ! Is that possible?
You got me with the thumbnail lol
What about it lol?
3:16 cosk ?? Charter Oak State Kollege ??
lol whoops
7:36 what about CLEPS/DANTES?
Billy Madison did it and you can too!
This vid hits a lot different ever since I obtained that legit college degree 1 1/2 years since starting..
Did you actually get a college degree doing this?
@@Angel-kb3tu Dead srs
Learning from a expect researcher I see. But, what about colleges like Thomas Edison or Arizona State University? Are they legit? And two this confuses me do I have to pay college per year or all at once? Like Phoenix University doing 11k a year. Sorry if this is confusing.
Both are public school, but ASU has bigger name and better review...imo😊
ANy thoughts on Purdue Global or Huntington University of health sciences
?
Sorry bro it's kinda not related but from Uganda does that grading system apply for me isn't difficult for me to enroll to such programs
I am the proof that it can be done, I am an online international student of SNHU and UMPI
I’m not sure if this was covered. But do these schools adept financial aid? Should I even fill out a fafsa and also what about those who need to go to graduate school ( my major is psychology) I’ve been told if I want to see $$$ I at least need a masters.
In some video he said that regional accredited college accept fafsa...
Today, Friday, May 24,2024, u declare that Shane Hummus is the person who is about to change my life. AND I'm not the only one to think so.
So Guys, don't be cheap, just click on that *Thumbnail*👍 if you have found any value in that video. Personally I'm gonna subscribe so I won't miss any opportunity like this, that can literally save your life.
Just think about it saving 3 years of college while your peers are at school studying, you've got a job, working during 3 years making money. And on the top of that if they have been taking debt, they will begin their career paying during years.
I'm still skeptic on WGU..
It's good to be skeptical, do your research on it and I think you'll see it's legit.
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. If you do your research, and if you go grad school, some colleges will not accept more than a certain number of Pass/no pass grades on transcript. So, you get what you pay for I guess, it's one of the cheapest colleges also.
I wouldn't do it. Many Masters programs don't accept them.
@@Gothiqueluvthanks for the valuable info
Hey Shane. im curious, is this only applicable to people from the U.S? Because I'm from another country.
These are all colleges in the US.
I am the proof that it can be done, I am an online international student of SNHU and UMPI
💜Thank you. Hugs🤗
Plz make a video about merchandising, my admission is 2 days after. I need to take decision immediately about this course and I wanna about merchandising from you. I wanna know about career path, salaries, job demand, job satisfaction of and all of things of merchandising. Plz make a video on merchandising.
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?
" wouldn't doing all these AP exams cost more than a year in community college" -- no
"wouldn't it be better to go to a top tier university that would probably accept you with all these credits" -- hell no -- do you have any idea how much that would cost ?
@@firstname4337 very little for the average American. The net cost of top universities is much lower than average because their endowments allow them to give need-based Aid. Every ivy, Rice, Vanderbilt, etc operates on a policy like that.
This is so nice but I can’t even afford $99 for the Sophia learning and I would like to do SNHU. Are there scholarships for Sophia?
Shane! I don't care what Google address this is. Don't care about my 4.0 GPA. Don't care about being Phi in my eye; I am Phi somethin' "KRAPPA." Just want to "gadgeeate" again. Shoot for five A's (last term) earn a .D and four C's. And apply for the next school, sign up for one class go to class and not like the professor's height or smile. And drop out! So thank you so very much for what you did/do! It is important to a first generation broke peep autodidactic like me!
Plz make a video about merchandising
UMASS Global offers something similar to WGU. I wonder which is a better option.
Which one have the better review? Which one public and which one private?
UMASS all the way!
Is there a way to get a bachelors in mathematics in less than a year?

What happens when someone has already enrolled transferring 60 units approximately from community college?
Does WGU put a cap on the number of credits they’ll transfer in?
How do we set up a consultation?
A little concerned with attempting a degree from wgu though. Does that look equal on a resumé
How many classes do you have to take at another university with a Better rep to “graduate” from there?
Do your due diligence. It's not the same. Good luck!
I want to know if a high school graduate can enroll in WGU right after graduation?
Yes you can
I want to know as I’m currently in community college and decided that I wanted to get a bachelors in computer science from WGU. Considering I stumbled upon this video and a couple others that have made me generally realize that I can finish college in a short amount of times. (I’m a graduated Senior from High School).
Charter oak state college will get you a degree fast if you actually have your upper division classes finish
Hi. I can't access the spreadsheet
Mid 20’s no experience no certain would this allow me to get a foot into my desired industry: tech
Will this work for international students ? Need a bit of help here 🤔
So it's a complicated question to answer without knowing your situation. If you were to move to the US, there would be some options for you that are very similar to this though.
@@ShaneHummus would you elaborate ?

The hard part is learning fast
It's not as hard as you think to be honest
The good part is; for “Gen Ed.” classes, you already learned most of it.
Glad I didn’t buy your course cause now the information is free 😏
Haha not all of it. I have even better stuff in there now ;)
What course? Is there a link?
Something smells like an undisclosed sponsorship to me. I just don't think it's a coincidence that WGU advertises all over TH-cam and the *suddenly* Shane decides to share his more "secret" info and conveniently uses wgu as the prime example. Hmmmm
Ha, I wish. I don't get a penny from WGU or any of these Universities. WGU is a non-profit and therefore doesn't have an affiliate program.
Hey can I can contact you I am completely lost and need a college coach
They need to make the new undergraduate upper division courses, NEED to be high school junior + senior classes. Because it doesn't guarantee you a job without the experience + certifications that generally help you BEFORE you get a masters degree. I'm a sophomore at Arizona State University.
