Get More from Your IT Education

Employers don’t care how much you paid for your bachelor’s or master’s degree. They want to know if you have the skills to do the job well and the credentials to prove it. Whether you’re interested in becoming a cybersecurity pro, data analyst, or IT manager, our accredited degree programs can get you where you want to be. You may pay less for your education at WGU, but you get more—we include top industry certifications in our IT programs at no extra cost.

  • Graduate faster. Our competency-based learning model lets you complete courses as quickly as you prove your understanding. Since you pay tuition per term instead of per course, the more courses you complete each term, the more you can save. Whether you graduate in 12 months or 48 months, it’s up to you.
  • Save with low, flat-rate tuition. Whether you’re taking the minimum course load or as many as you can, you’ll likely still pay less than you would at a brick-and-mortar university. In fact, our tuition is about half the national average.*
  • Expand your career opportunities. Your degree program’s skill-focused curriculum and included certifications will prepare you to meet the needs of today’s employers. So, you can land the job and salary you’re looking for. On average, WGU grads see an $22,200 increase in income within two years of graduation.**

*WGU average annual bachelor’s tuition rates are 53% lower than the national average, compared to national rates reported by the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data Systems in 2022. WGU average rate does not include rates for WGU Bachelor of Science, Nursing Prelicensure program.
