It’s Time to Give Your Career a Healthy Boost

It’s not just a new year. This is your year—your chance to launch a new career in healthcare or advance your current one. An affordable bachelor's or master's degree from WGU can help achieve your goal. WGU also offers millions in scholarships each year—including the $2,500 New Year Scholarship—to help make earning your degree even more affordable.

A healthcare degree from WGU is a smart investment in your future. Here’s why:

Monthly start dates. Degree programs begin the first of every month. So you can start when you’re ready, rather than waiting for a new semester to begin.
Personalized support. From day one, you’ll be matched with an experienced Program Mentor who will guide you through your degree program.
Flexibility. With 24/7 access to our online programs, you can complete coursework and take tests any time, day or night.
Flat-rate tuition. Your tuition is charged per six-month term, not per course, and includes as many courses as you can complete in that time. Federal financial aid is also available.
