"Higher income…"
"WGU's program is allowing me to expand my career choices and earn a higher income in my chosen field of education. As a father of a young and growing family of three sons, these things are important and add security for my family."
—Brian Toomer, WGU graduate
"The flexibility offered…"
"Without the flexibility offered by Western Govenors University, it would not be possible for me to earn my master's degree. I work full-time and then some at a professional job, have two preschool-aged children, and manage a household."
—Denise Dowling, WGU student
"Fit school into my life…"
"The learning format at WGU allowed me to progress as fast or slow as needed according to my schedule. I was able to fit school into my life, instead of fitting life into school."
—Patricia Eardley, WGU graduate
