Courses are easily accessible online, anywhere, and the ability to accelerate through classes is a game changer! The Course Instructors and Program Mentors are always available and some of your biggest supporters to keep you moving forward to achieve your goals. Tuition is pretty low compared to other universities, online or otherwise, and the free online resources and textbooks needed for all your classes is very cost efficient overall. All in all, WGU is a great place to begin your college dreams to help you become a better YOU.
Western Governors University has been the best school I have attended (especially for it being online)! I was nervous about getting my Bachelors online, but the instructors, staff members, and everyone in between have made the process clear and easy. The communication is consistent and always available, the resources are endless, and the overall school method is very degree specific without all the fluff many other schools require. I have already recommended WGU to several colleagues that are now in attendance as well.
I'm a current student at WGU and I absolutely love it. You are supported at every turn. From your enrollment counselor, to your degree counselor to every professor you get along the way. There are a tons of education resources and financial assistance opportunities available for you. The best part is that you'll never do busy work again. Every course you take is tailored to you, it allows you to skip the stuff you know and only focus on the stuff you don't! I have been able to pass an entire course in as little as a day. You cannot fall behind because your team won't let you. Stay in communication with your coaching team and you will pass.
