The program provides a rigorous, broad, and credible knowledge base across several IT areas: networks, operating systems, databases, software, security, e-commerce, and project management. It also includes lower-division general education areas of study if those are not cleared through prior college experience. If you haven't decided which IT field you would like to specialize in, this program will expose you to a variety of IT specialty areas. You may start out in this program, and then later add an area of specialization such as Networks, Databases, Software or Security.

Accreditation

Western Governors University is the only university to have received simultaneous accreditation by four regional accrediting commissions. Currently, WGU’s "home" accrediting commission is the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, the same organization that accredits such leading institutions as the University of Washington, University of Oregon, University of Utah, Brigham Young University, and other public and private colleges. WGU is also nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). WGU is the first online university to receive NCATE accreditation for its degree programs that lead to teacher licensure from the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). WGU’s Health Informatics program is now accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM). WGU’s Nursing programs are CCNE accredited.
