WGU – Scripting and Programming

Scripting and Programming at Western Governors University is a foundational course that introduces students to the principles of programming and scripting for solving real-world problems. Students learn how to write, analyze, and debug code using modern scripting languages, while building logical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for software development and IT careers.

The course covers programming fundamentals, including variables, data types, control structures, loops, functions, and modular programming. Students also gain experience reading, tracing, and interpreting code to predict outcomes and identify errors, preparing them for advanced programming courses and objective assessments.

By the end of the course, learners can confidently design scripts, implement algorithms, and apply programming logic to practical challenges across multiple platforms.
