We Believe That a Degree Should Advance Your Career, Not Put You Behind
At WGU, we’re dedicated to making higher education not only accessible to more people, but also affordable. Through our Responsible Borrowing Initiative, which encourages students to borrow only what they need, we’ve seen the average borrowing per year per student (of those who borrow) drop by more than 30% since 2013. As a result, the mean debt at graduation for undergrads who borrowed was about half the national average.*

Ways WGU keeps costs low and helps working adult students:
- Robust scholarship program. WGU awarded over $28 million in 2023.
- Financial aid. WGU is approved by the U.S. Department of Education to offer Federal Student Aid.
- State grants. In addition to federal grants and loans, if you live in Arizona, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont or the state of Washington, you may be eligible for financial aid from your state.
- Low, flat-rate tuition. Tuition is charged at a flat rate and covers as many courses as you can complete in a term. And because you can finish courses as fast as you master the material, you really can earn your degree for less.
- Flexibility. WGU's online coursework is available 24/7, and doesn't require set log-in times. That means no matter what's happening with your work life or home life, courses are ready when you are. As for tests? You can take them when you're ready, not when someone says you have to be ready.
Accredited, Respected,
Recognized™
One important measure of a degree’s value is the reputation of the university where it was earned. When employers, industry leaders, and academic experts hold your alma mater in high esteem, you reap the benefits of that respect. WGU is a pioneer in reinventing higher education for the 21st century, and our quality has been recognized.
