I don't know why they are using the term "credit for life experience". I thought WGU only offered competency-based education. The two things are completely different.
Many colleges - not just WGU - offer PLA courses which are courses you earn credit for past work experience. You complete a major project/paper documenting the work experience. WGU does NOT require this course at all. Most everyone just completes their competency based courses. Many well respected universities offer PLA so I don't know what the big hang up is about.
