An ideal fit for tuition reimbursement programs
Corporate Reimbursement
Many corporations or organizations that offer tuition assistance or tuition reimbursement
will allow you to use your benefits for a WGU online degree program. As a non-profit,
nationally and regionally accredited university with affordable tuition, WGU is
an ideal fit for many tuition reimbursement programs.
At WGU, tuition assistance or tuition reimbursement may be used to pursue a degree
program, post-baccalaureate teacher certification program, or teaching endorsement.
WGU is not an appropriate school for persons looking to take individual courses
only.
The use of tuition assistance will require approval through your company’s education
office or other approving process.
If you would like to discuss using tuition assistance or tuition reimbursement for
a WGU degree program, please speak to an Enrollment
Counselor.

How do I explain "competency-based" to my HR department?
Most HR departments become comfortable with WGU’s competency-based approach once
it is explained in detail. They appreciate that we focus on making sure our students
are highly competent, not just that they have completed a class. You can have your
HR department explore this website or speak directly to your Enrollment Counselor or a WGU supervisor.
Can I get a transcript to show credit hours completed?
WGU is competency-based, not credit-hour based in the traditional sense. However,
your WGU transcript shows credit equivalencies for each domain (major subject area)
that you complete. This approach makes a WGU transcript “translatable” for most
HR departments and policies. Your Enrollment
Counselor can help explain this in more detail.
Which companies support WGU tuition reimbursement?
WGU does not maintain a master list of companies who reimburse students for tuition.
Because of our growth, the list changes too much. And most students make their reimbursement
arrangements without us knowing.
Since WGU’s inception, we have enjoyed great support from a number of major corporations
who serve on our .
