Help Us Open Up the World of Academic Success

Access to Opportunity

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity isn't.
Let's change that together.

At WGU, we are committed to identifying barriers to higher education and systematically knocking them down so more students can earn their degrees and achieve their dreams. 

Accelerating Innovation

Ambition never rests. Neither do we.
We're investing in the future of higher education. Join us.

Traditional higher ed wasn't built for the realities facing many of today's students. At WGU, we innovate with students in mind, giving them the flexibility and freedom they need to succeed.
