CCNE-Accredited Programs that Fit Your Life—and Budget
At WGU, our goal is to make sure nothing stands in the way of you and your education. So if time or cost is keeping you from earning your nursing degree, here’s how we can help.
- Flat-rate tuition. At WGU, your tuition is charged per six-month term, not per course credit, and covers the cost of as many courses as you can complete in that time.
- Millions in scholarships. On top of our already-low tuition, we offer millions in scholarships each year to help make your education even more affordable. See which scholarship opportunity might be right for you.
- Graduate faster, spend less. WGU is unique in that our programs are competency based. If you already know the material or study hard to learn it faster, you can complete your assessments quickly and potentially graduate faster. This puts you in control of the pace—and price—of your degree.
- Access programs 24/7. There is no need to log-in at a certain time, and no due-dates for assignments. Our programs are designed to fit the demanding schedules of busy workers like you.
