WGU is a regionally accredited, online, non-profit university with undergraduate and graduate programs in Technology, Business, Teaching, and Healthcare. Our self-paced degrees are uniquely suited to the unpredictability of military life and are based on real-world competencies rather than seat time, allowing most students to advance faster – in other words, “training to standard, not to time.” Students can study and take exams on their own schedule, anywhere in the world with an internet connection, which is particularly important during PCSs and deployments. WGU’s one-of-a-kind mentor program, with weekly progress and wellness check-ins, ensures our students are never alone. WGU accepts federal (and some state) military tuition assistance, Veterans Administration education benefits, and is a Yellow Ribbon Program participant. WGU is one of the most affordable higher education options in the country, with a flat-rate tuition and an average yearly bachelor’s program cost of $8,300, and it also awarded over $6 million in scholarships to 2,193 military-affiliated students in 2025. WGU is proud to be recognized by Military Friendly® for fifteen consecutive years and designated a Gold School for 2025-2026 and a 2025-2026 Top 10 School for Military Spouses.
