Western Governors University

Western Governors University (WGU) is an accredited online university that offers competency-based education, primarily targeting working adults seeking to advance their careers through flexible learning. Founded in 1997 by a group of U.S. governors, WGU makes money through tuition fees, which are charged at a flat rate per term rather than per credit hour, making it cost-effective for students to accelerate their studies. The university is notable for its innovative approach to higher education, emphasizing mastery of skills and knowledge over traditional classroom time, and has grown significantly, serving tens of thousands of students across the United States.
