Why choose WGU?

The online, competency-based teaching degrees at WGU are extremely well-suited to
active-duty, reserve, and retired military who are ready to "serve again" in our
classrooms. Many students value our programs because they allow students to proceed at
their own pace, even accelerating the time required versus traditional classroom-based
programs.
$1,500 Supplemental Troops To Teachers Scholarship
WGU is pleased to offer $1,500 scholarships to supplement the standard Troops To Teachers stipend. The scholarships are also available for Spouses To Teachers participants. Learn more about WGU's Troops To Teachers and Spouses To Teachers supplemental scholarships.

|
You earn your degree by demonstrating your skills and

"Flexibility was fantastic..."
"The flexibility was fantastic. I really appreciated the ability to work at my own pace. It allowed me to graduate 6 months ahead of schedule. The affordability was great, too. My VA benefits completely covered my tuition!"

"Quality...is excellent..."
"The quality of the program is excellent. I started out at one of the best programs in the country (George Mason University in Fairfax, VA) at three times the tuition (and that was at a military discount). I honestly believe the depth and breadth of WGU's program is better. The affordability is an additional benefit…a huge one!"

"WGU is ideal for military personnel..."
"WGU is ideal for military personnel because it offers flexible access to its resources, is very affordable, and it's an accredited school with a quality program. Students aren't stuck with a one-way or the highway attitude (still the coursework is tough), and the mentors are compassionate drill sergeants."
