BS in Information Technology
Bachelor of Science — Competency-Based Online Program
Clarke earned his BS in Information Technology through WGU’s competency-based model — a program where mastery of the material, not seat time, determines progress. If you already know the content, you move faster.
WGU’s BS-IT integrates industry certification preparation directly into the curriculum. As part of completing this degree, Clarke earned the following credentials:
- CompTIA A+
- CompTIA Network+
- CompTIA Security+
- CompTIA Project+
- CIW (Certified Internet Webmaster)
MBA in Information Technology Management
Master of Business Administration — IT Management Track
One year after completing the BS-IT, Clarke earned his MBA in IT Management from WGU. The program focused on IT management, business strategy, and organizational leadership — bridging deep technical expertise with executive-level business acumen.
Clarke’s Recommendation
“WGU is one of the best-value degrees in tech. Competency-based means you move at your own pace — if you already know the material, you can accelerate. The built-in cert prep means you leave with both a degree and industry credentials. Clarke recommends WGU for working professionals.”
