Fall 2021 Course

An university created to help you!

WGU Indiana was established early in 2010 as a part of Western Governors University with a unique mission to help Hoosiers obtain a quality education. When WGU was established in 1997, the founding governors— which included the governor of Indiana— realized that technology, the Internet, and a new model of competency-based education could transform higher education by creating new opportunities for working adults.

Who we are.

WGU Indiana is a partnership between the state of Indiana and nationally recognized Western Governors University. WGU Indiana offers more than 60 bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the high-demand fields of business, IT, teacher education, and healthcare. WGU Indiana now serves about 5,300 students and has awarded degrees to more than 10,500 Indiana residents.

Education without boundaries.™

From the beginning, we were designed to be different. The U.S. governors who founded WGU knew that the college student of the 21st century would be very different from students in the past. For millions of working adults, the dream of pursuing a college education could only become a reality once the boundaries of time and place could be removed. Overcoming this challenge was at the heart of the WGU idea.

As a nonprofit, online university founded by governors, WGU is different. But even beyond the unique story of our founding and the foresight of our founders, WGU is different for a more fundamental reason: We do education differently.
