Online School Guide for Online Schools and Campus Programs

Western Governors University:

Higher expectations.
Without the high cost.

You should expect a lot from an online university. A high quality program. A high level of personal service. A commitment to make you a highly competent, employable graduate. What you don't want is high tuition.

WGU can meet your expectations. We're different. WGU is the country's only online competency-based university. As a non-profit university created by the governors of 19 states to expand access to higher education, our TUITION IS LESS THAN HALF what you would pay elsewhere.

Is WGU Right For You? WGU is ideal for the student who needs flexibility and can thrive with a high degree of independence. Working closely with faculty mentors committed to your success, you will follow a personalized program that allows you to accelerate if you have existing competencies in your field of study or can commit significant time to your program.

Accreditation
Western Governors University is the only university to have received simultaneous accreditation by four regional accrediting commissions.

Currently, WGU's "home" accrediting commission is the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, the same organization that accredits such leading institutions as the University of Washington, University of Oregon, University of Utah, BYU, and other public and private colleges. WGU is also nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).
