Twenty-three percentage points higher, in fact. What is it about WGU that makes its academic support so much better? It's having one-to-one interaction with faculty built into our education model. SEE STUDENT RATINGS The Difference a Degree Makes Even though earning a degree is hard work, continuing your education really can make a difference for you, your family, and even your community.

Your degree comes with bragging rights

WGU Sept Newsletter

Your Degree Comes with Bragging Rights Earning a college degree is a wise choice, but it should also be a valuable one. Of course the college you choose should be accredited, and what you spend for your education should balance with the increased income your degree can bring. But your degree should also be respected. See what Bill Gates, Forbes, the National Council on Teacher Quality, and others have to say about WGU. SEE WHAT OTHERS SAY How WGU is Reducing Student Loan Debt Going to college can get pretty expensive, and for many Americans, that means huge student loan debt—but it doesn't have to. Not only does WGU make education more affordable by keeping tuition low, we also work with each of our students to help them earn their degrees with as little debt as possible. READ MORE Taking the Terror Out of Math You're thinking about earning your degree, but it's been a while since your last math class. (What's the Pythagorean Theorem, again?) Have no fear!
