In their words

Taken from Western Governors University's own job postings, not written by us.

WGU, www.wgu.edu, is an online university for the 21st century. We are driven by a mission to expand access to higher education through online, competency-based degree programs. Since its establishment in 1997, WGU has grown into a national university, serving more than 120,000 students from all 50 states. The university continues to open doors for adult learners who need flexibility to achieve their education and career goals. WGU’s innovative competency-based academic approach makes it possible, allowing individuals to fit their education into their lives, not the other way around. WGU was founded by the governors of 19 U.S. states. WGU is also supported by over 20 major corporations and foundations who believe in WGU’s commitment to producing highly competent graduates.

Employment type was only captured from May 2026 onward, so any employer that stopped posting before then shows blank here permanently.

Published pay

Never. Not once in 3 postings tracked since December 2024 has this employer published a pay figure. That is their choice, not a gap in this database, so expect to negotiate without a public anchor.

Do they hire from the bedside?

Not yet assessed. This is read from posting text and has not been run for this employer, so the page does not guess. It is the question worth answering and it is on the list.

Similar employers

Same primary role first, then the same employer type.
