"Being a female in tech, I wanted to expand my knowledge into areas I knew nothing about. This is why I went into Cybersecurity. I was only 17 at the time, and challenged myself as well to complete it as fast as possible. While my goal was 6 months, I ended up finishing in 1 year! I quite literally flew through 4 years of college into just 1 year."
—Uroosa Shah
B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance
"I chose WGU because of its ease, price, and the possibility of gaining IT certifications along with my degree. Now that I've graduated, I have four years of IT experience, a bachelor's degree, and five IT certifications that help show that my skills are valuable. That's a really good jumpstart for a career. After I graduated from WGU I quickly got a much better job and nearly doubled my salary."
