Western Governors University - A Guide from Education.org

Online degrees giving you the skills
and knowledge you need

Western Governors University emphasizes mastery of essential skills and knowledge in your field, basing progress toward your online degree on passing rigorous assessments (such as tests, projects, assignments, etc.) instead of accumulating credit hours. We call it competency-based learning.

With bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in education, business, information technology, and health professions, WGU’s rigorous yet flexible approach to education gives the university a unique advantage over other online programs. Here’s what the WGU Advantage means to you:

An online learning and assessment model that gives you flexibility and control over your education.
A dedicated mentor committed to your success.
A trusted quality education from a regionally, nationally, and NCATE-accredited institution.
Affordable tuition with the possibility of accelerated learning that equals lower costs for your education.

Challenging and efficient. These are the hallmarks of WGU’s competency-based approach to education.
