"WGU was the perfect educational fit for my background as well as my lifestyle. Because I returned to school for my master’s degree after working in my field for many years, the competency-based program allowed me to apply principals from my experience in the workplace while still providing learning experiences that built on that knowledge."
Jeff Solheim,
M.S. Nursing—Education
"When you’re engaged in the commitment of this degree plan and you have an experience where the knowledge really lets you help someone, it’s very fulfilling. I think people need to know this is the most innovative education that I’ve ever experienced."
Norm Hill,
B.S. Nursing
"WGU fit my lifestyle; being able to get my degree from home on my time was the only way that I was able to go back to school. There were times when I didn’t think I could do it, but having a mentor helped push me to finish."
Joanna Kestler,
B.S. Nursing
