Distance Learning Education Online MBA Degree Programs : WGT offers specialized MBA degrees online

Western Governors University is now offering what officials say are the nation's first online competency-based MBA degrees.

The school is offering a traditional MBA and an MBA with an emphasis in information technology management for experienced IT professionals.

Competency-based programs mean students earn degrees by demonstrating what they know and can do rather than simply accumulating a certain number of credit hours.

"Our challenging MBA programs are for individuals who already possess 'real world' experience but seek in-depth knowledge in management, leadership and strategy," said WGU President Robert W. Mendenhall. He said the programs are flexible in two ways: Business professionals can use knowledge they already have to complete the program faster, and the online, mentored approach allows students to fit their own schedules.
