I believe WGU follows a competency based outline that one can progress through as fast as they are able. I am not convinced this model is suited for everyone. If you have an area of expertise like Business or IT and feel comfortable accelerating your studies then go for it! I'm curious if there is any actual instruction or if competency based learning is facilitated by mentors and not actual faculty. Interesting concept but probably best suited for independent learners with a background in the field they are going to study. Curious to hear comments about WGU.
