The WGU Advantage

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. They are also the recipient of the USDLA 21st Century Award for Best Practices in Distance Learning for 2008.

When we developed our online IT degree programs, we had you, the adult learner in mind.

We know how limited and valuable your time is so we designed our Bachelor's degrees to be flexible, affordable and packed with real-world job skills that immediately give you a decided advantage over your peers.

Not only will you develop the diverse, broad-based IT skills that employers demand, you'll earn up to ten industry IT certifications – without adding classes or costs.

We are endorsed by world-class employers such as Google, Microsoft and HP, a testament to the high degree of competency that our graduates are recognized for.

Best of all, if you already have some of the IT certifications under your belt, you can get accelerated and complete your IT degree sooner.

*Number of certifications included in IT degree programs vary by program (which are all included in your tuition-a huge cost savings for you)*.

WGU is the recipient of the USDLA 21st Century Award for Best Practices in Distance Learning for 2008, awarded in recognition of our success in expanding access to higher education.

"Western Governors University has raised the bar of excellence," said Dr. John Flores, CEO of USDLA.

"We are truly honored by WGU's contributions to the distance learning industry."

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, Brigham Young University, and other public and private colleges. WGU is also nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). The WGU Teachers College is the first and only online provider of teacher education to receive accreditation from the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
