Your education dreams and needs

 
 
Dear Septian,

There are many benefits to continuing your education. A degree can:
  • Enhance your personal status
  • Boost your salary
  • Increase your job security

Our online degrees are based on real-world competencies as opposed to seat time or credit hours. Our focus is on ensuring you possess the skills and knowledge you need to be successful, not whether you've attended class or not.

You'll be able to take advantage of what you already know. Your progress is determined by whether you can "prove" you know your stuff. If you can prove it sooner because of prior experience and education, perfect! You can draw upon this experience to complete assessments faster, ultimately saving you time and money.

WGU graduate José Gracia Madrano needed the flexibility of online learning in a well-respected program:

"WGU was the answer to all the prayers I had in the last 33 years. I could finally do something at my pace that validated the knowledge I already had. Now, I have an accredited degree to show for it! Not to mention—the fantastic price! The whole thing together is the greatest value in higher education."

You'll get excellent preparation for starting your degree program with the help of your Enrollment Counselor. Contact them today!

Best regards,

How embracing failure can help you succeed | Your February Newsletter

WGU is on the cutting edge of online education
Breaking the Mold

Are you a "non-traditional" student? Christopher Ray was. As a kid he wanted to go into medicine, but after his mom passed away, he dropped out of high school, started work, and eventually found himself a 37-year-old, out-of-work truck driver without a high school diploma. That's when he decided to change his life by going back to school.

You know the saying "necessity is the mother of invention"? Well, it could also be said that failure is the mother of success. Failure shows us where we can improve and forces us to look at things in a new light. See how WGU grads have found success through failure, and find out what a willingness to face failure could do for you.
