Hey everyone! I'm considering applying to Western Governors University, and I'm curious about their pricing. Can anyone give me an idea of how much their tuition cost per term would be?
Hello! Western Governors University (WGU) follows a somewhat different tuition structure compared to many traditional universities. Instead of charging by credit hour, WGU charges a flat rate per six-month term.
As of now, the tuition cost per term at WGU varies depending on the program you choose. For most bachelor's degree programs, tuition ranges from $3,225 to $3,720 per six-month term. For graduate degree programs, tuition generally falls between $3,940 and $4,180 per term. Do note that these amounts are subject to change, so it is always a good idea to check the WGU website for the most up-to-date information.
Additionally, WGU's tuition structure encourages students to complete their coursework at their own pace, potentially allowing you to accelerate your degree completion and save on tuition costs. Remember that you may also have other expenses like textbooks, technology fees, or certification exams to budget for, depending on your program.
Of course, don't forget to explore any available financial aid, scholarships, and grants that you might qualify for to help offset the cost of your education. Good luck with your decision-making!
