Competency based programs - can you do more than one class at a time?

[Dewey Cheatham]

I have heard it depends on your mentor at WGU.

Capella says that you can have 2 classes going at once.

JFK U and Purdue Global don't seem to say on their website. I may have missed it.

At WGU is definitely depends on your mentor.  If you want to enroll in and complete multiple classes at the same time you have to tell your mentor immediately when you have the introductory call (and accept nothing less).

Initially, your program mentor at WGU will enroll you in 3 or 4 classes.  As such, initially, you may work on several courses at one time.  As you complete these courses your mentor will add other courses to your degree plan.  If you do not tell them that you plan to accelerate and enroll in multiple courses at once the program mentor will follow WGU's preferred method of adding one course at a time (and will do so only after you have completed all of the other previously enrolled courses).  For both my undergraduate degree and graduate degree at WGU I told my program mentors to enroll me in two new classes for every two classes I complete.  Also, the day following my introductory call with my program mentor I sent them an email listing every single class in the program guide and the order in which I intended to complete the entire degree program.

It is your degree...not theirs.  They might take your money...but it is on you to progress to your degree and you should do it in the manner that suits you best (and only you know how that is).
