Nearly Half of WGU IT Students Don’t Need Loans to Pay for School

At WGU, we aim to make quality higher education more accessible for more people. One way we do this is by charging flat-rate tuition and letting you take as many courses as you can complete in a six-month term at no extra cost. The faster you finish your B.S. Information Technology program, the more money you’ll save. We also incorporate certification prep and exams into your coursework to save even more. The program is fully online with no set log-in times or test dates, so you can do your coursework anytime, anywhere.

Low tuition: WGU’s information technology program costs as little as $3,725 per six-month term for a bachelor’s degree and $4,040 per six-month term for a master's degree. Plus, our competency-based program means you can take as many courses and certifications as you can master within six months for one flat-rate tuition.
Scholarship opportunities: Each year, WGU awards millions of dollars in scholarships to make tuition even more affordable for qualified students. See which scholarship could help make your degree even more affordable.
Online: All of WGU’s IT degrees are offered online and designed to help working individuals fit higher education into their busy lives. That means no scheduled log-in times, so you can work around your life and move through courses at your own pace.
