We Put You in Charge of When You Start School
At WGU, there’s no reason to put your ambition to advance your career on hold. That’s why we don’t make you wait for a fall semester, or spring semester. Instead, we have terms that start the first of every month. After all, who knows better than you when you’re ready to get going on your program? It’s just one of the ways we put our students first and support their success.
