About WGU - Western Governors University

Here at WGU, we believe that talent is universal—even if opportunity isn't. Higher education is the best way to bridge that gap, but traditional higher ed wasn't built for the realities facing many of today's students. So we created a university focused on expanding access to education around the country. We've innovated with students in mind, giving them the flexibility and freedom they need to succeed in today's workplace.

An unforgettable experience I loved my experience with WGU more than any other post-graduate experience I could have possibly had anywhere else. The courses were well-organized and diverse in their layout, so getting bored with looking at the same format over and over was pretty impossible. The Course Instructors were largely very helpful and responsive, and never made me feel like I asked a dumb question even if the answer was simple. Dr. Brian Iannucci even complimented me on my parenting skills for exposing my girls to Star Wars! The two biggest highlights though had to be getting nominated for the National Society of Leadership and Success. Hard work, persistence, and passion truly pay off if you combine them right! Second, my program mentors Zach Waitrovich and Amy Mullins were my ultimate cheerleaders throughout my entire experience, but also took me to task when I underperformed or didn’t hold myself accountable when I didn’t maximize the potential they knew I had. Finally, while paying back student loans will always be stressful, WGU allowed me to graduate with far less than the national average! I’m so grateful for my experience and for everything that the University taught me about myself that I didn’t know I had in me!

WGU was the best choice! I had a great experience at WGU. The courses challenged me and I could complete them at my own pace. I had a ton of flexibility which I needed being a working professional. I received plenty of support from my instructors, assigned mentor, and learning resources. I definitely recommend WGU.

WGU only cares about money WGU only cares about money. Not you. If I could give a 0 star rating I would as this place convinces you that it cares about you as a student and goes through a lot of hoops to do so. Unfortunately if you end up misunderstanding the way your employer pays for school as mine was previously a reimbursement then transitioned to a letter of credit without my knowledge WGU is now unwilling to take the letter of credit and reimburse the amount I paid via credit card. They have essentially told me to 'kick rocks you gave us your money already' and I have multiple e-mails and screenshots to prove this if necessary. Will I continue schooling here? Yes - only because I've already started. Will I recommend a place like this to anyone else in the future? Absolutely not.
