WHY WGU?
Here’s why WGU is a great way to earn your bachelor’s or master’s degree:
A SIMPLE APPLICATION PROCESS
WGU is ideal for the student who needs flexibility and can thrive with a higher degree of independence. The admission process is designed to help you learn about the nature of study at WGU and help both you and the university reach an informed decision about your enrollment.
You can apply for admission online in a matter of minutes by visiting www.wgu.edu/nul and clicking on the “Apply Now” button. You can also call a WGU enrollment Counselor toll-free at 1-866-225-5948 to learn more. Programs begin the first of every month.
AFFORDABLE TUITION
The basic tuition for most programs is just $2,890 per six-month term. WGU charges tuition flat rate every six months, so you pay for the time, not the credit hours. Compare that with what other reputable, regionally accredited online universities charge and you’ll discover WGU tuition is typically half the cost.
WGU IS ONLINE AND FLEXIBLE.
You’ll benefit from a high-quality, accredited degree, yet have the added convenience of being able to complete coursework in the comfort of your home or anywhere with an internet connection.
WGU IS COMPETENCY-BASED MEASURING LEARNING, NOT TIME.
At WGU, our focus is on making sure you possess the skills and knowledge you need to be successful. If you already possess these “competencies”, you can complete your program faster- and for less money, too.
WGU IS AFFORDABLE.
Because WGU is nonprofit, our tuition remains low- typically half the cost of other reputable online universities. WGU also charges tuition at a flat rate every six months (rather than by credit hour) so you only pay for the time you need to complete your degree program. It’s not easy, but you could potentially save thousands.
