Online degrees giving you the skills and knowledge you need

Your competence is the ultimate focus of every degree program at Western Governors University. The university emphasizes mastery of essential skills and knowledge in your field, basing progress toward your online degree on passing rigorous assessments (such as tests, projects, assignments, etc.) instead of accumulating credit hours. We call it competency-based learning.

With bachelor's and master's degree programs in education, business, information technology, and health professions, WGU's rigorous yet flexible approach to education gives the university a unique advantage over other online programs. Here's what the WGU Advantage means to you:

Flexibility and Affordability

Our online competency-based approach gives you the flexibility to use your existing knowledge and experience to pass your assessments as quickly as you can. You pay one flat rate per six-month term, so if you're able to pass the assessments at a faster pace, you can save time and money.

Credibility through Accreditation

WGU is regionally and nationally accredited. WGU's Teachers College is also NCATE-accredited, the first exclusively online university to achieve this distinction.

Commitment and Support

As a student at WGU, you'll have the support of a dedicated mentor to keep you motivated as you progress toward your degree. You'll also interact with an online learning community of students in your same program, so you're never alone.

WGU is the recipient of the USDLA 21st Century Award for Best Practices in Distance Learning for 2008, awarded in recognition of our success in expanding access to higher education.

If you're an organized, independent learner willing to devote at least 15-20 hours per week to your studies but require flexibility in time and place to complete your education, WGU could be the university you've been looking for. Learn more today!

"Western Governors University has raised the bar of excellence. We are truly honored by WGU's contributions to the distance learning industry."
- Dr. John Flores, CEO of USDLA.

Featured on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams in their "What Works" segment, WGU is the recipient of the USDLA 21st Century Award for Best Practices in Distance Learning for 2008, awarded in recognition of our success in expanding access to higher education. TIME Magazine also called WGU "the best relatively cheap university you've never heard of".
