Get Started in Three Simple Steps

Complete the WGU Amazon Career Choice Application

Once you've found a degree program that interests you, click "Get Started" to fill out the WGU Amazon Career Choice Application. Also be sure to complete the necessary steps on the Amazon Career Choice website.
Note: As part of the Amazon Career Choice program, a full-time Amazon employee has up to $5,250 and a part-time employee has up to $2,625 to spend on WGU courses during a calendar year. These amounts are paid by Amazon. In addition, once an Amazon employee through the Career Choice program spends $5,250 in a calendar year, any additional courses they decide to take during that same calendar year are free. Part-time associates, to meet the $5,250 free-course threshold in a calendar year, would need to pay $2,625 out of pocket after using their $2,625 Amazon benefit. If an Amazon employee uses a portion of their Amazon tuition benefit at another school, thereby reducing their available tuition benefit to spend with WGU, they may need to self-pay a portion of their tuition to meet the $5,250 free-course threshold.*

*Tuition benefit will include up to $5,250 per calendar year toward the prelicensure program. All other tuition costs in the calendar year will be paid out of pocket.

An Enrollment Counselor Will Contact You

After you complete the WGU Amazon Career Choice Application, an Enrollment Counselor will reach out and let you know how to proceed. 

Begin Your First Class

A mentor will teach you the ins and outs of studying at WGU and show you how to get started on your first course. If you complete your trial course and feel ready to enroll in the full degree program, just let them know. They'll set you up for success and guide you along your WGU journey.

Now that I've graduated, I have four years of IT experience, a bachelor's degree, and five IT certifications that help show that my skills are valuable. That's a really good jumpstart for a career.
