WGU growing 30% annually — from edreformer.com by Tom Vander Ark

Here’s why WGU is cranking: the average time to a bachelor’s degree is 30 months—about twice as fast as a traditional college.  Speed to degree results from:

  • Willingness to accept transfer credits
  • Ability to test out of subjects where students have experience
  • The online instruction allows students to move at their own pace

The teachers college is the largest; business, IT, and health are all growing rapidly.
