Western Governors University
Gallup and Western Governors University have partnered since 2014 to quantify the life and learning outcomes of WGU students and compare those outcomes to national benchmarks.
Western Governors University 2022 Alumni Survey
Most Americans believe that a two- or four-year college degree is at least as important to finding a successful career as it was 20 years ago. However, only 30% of Americans believe that quality, affordable postsecondary education is widely available.
Western Governors University (WGU) is committed to offering a college education that is widely accessible, affordable and valuable.
To measure the extent to which WGU is succeeding in this mission, Gallup surveyed more than 1,400 WGU alumni who completed their undergraduate degree between 2017 and 2021 and compared the results to the responses of more than 600 national bachelor's degree holders who completed their degree during the same period.
