Are You WGU? The WGU Experience

Why would I choose WGU?

Because your professional success is our goal. If you’re seriously considering an online degree program, you want high-quality academic content that’s relevant to your career, tuition that’s affordable, flexibility that fits your lifestyle, and a strong support system to help you stay on track. These are the critical attributes of WGU as a nonprofit university founded by the governors of 19 U.S. states to expand educational access for the working adult.

What’s it like to be a student at WGU?

Some aspects of your WGU experience will be quite similar to what you’d expect at any college. You’ll study, do assignments, and take tests. You will interact with your fellow students and mentors. Other aspects of your WGU experience are quite different—even from other online universities.

We pride ourselves on making your education very personalized, so each student’s experience is a bit different. Every student, however, works with a dedicated mentor. Your mentor will determine the best learning resources for you based upon your background, strengths, and weaknesses. Your mentor will also ensure that you stay on track towards your goals.

Perhaps the best way to describe what it’s like to be a student at WGU is to hear other students’ experiences for yourself.
