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.

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.

WGU was super helpful and consistent… WGU was super helpful and consistent with checking in on me and making sure I was on track to graduate. It was an amazing experience to get my degree through WGU. I would 10/10 recommend going through this university for anyone who needs a flexible schedule and constant support!

High Quality Degree I chose to pursue my Master's Degree at 52 with 25 years of experience. I didn't want to dedicate years to it, but wanted a degree that would help me achieve financially and that I could be proud of, as well. WGU has been the perfect choice for me. The people who helped all the way from getting started to program mentoring throughout the course of time were amazing. The faculty that pushed and prodded were tremendous. I feel that the degree I earned, MS in Curriculum and Instruction, is so solid that I could take a job in the field and never ask for help. WGU is an excellent school with incredible resources and no fluff. The materials and goals of each class are directed at the students' success. GREAT SCHOOL!

Do not trust everything mentors and advisors tell you My whole educational career got drastically changed because staff at WGU cannot give out consistent information and that affects you and your education. I kept getting inconsistent information when I was about to start my student teaching. It made me miss the deadline and then was asked to take an 8 month term break when I could only take 6 months. Nobody could help, nobody knew the correct information and had to ask others and never got back to me. I was forced to essentially drop out and only get my bachelors in education rather than with my license like I’d like to. My whole goals got ruined thanks to WGU staff. Would either not recommend or tell students to be EXTRA vigilant about the information they’re given.
