Did you know WGU is one of the fastest-growing universities in the U.S.? With over 170,000 current students, WGU is among the largest educational institutions in the world. See how we stack up against the national average in an array of metrics in our 2022 Annual Report. We can't wait to see how 2023 compares, but one thing is for sure: all the numbers will be much larger!

Happy Spooktober!

The staff here at WGU especially love the fall season. The weather cools off, the leaves begin to change, and we quickly move into the holiday season. To many here, the Alumni Relations Team included, we would put Halloween top among these holidays. So, in the spooky holiday spirit, we wish you a fun and thrilling October!

Enjoy Halloween and share WGU with your friends and family. After all, earning a degree is quite the treat!
