Western Governors University 2023 Alumni Survey
Access to higher education in the U.S. is a major concern, especially given rising college costs and continued disparities in enrollment based on student race and ethnicity. As a result, it's not surprising that just 36% of Americans have confidence in the higher education sector.
Western Governors University (WGU) is one institution committed to changing the narrative about higher education, striving to offer a college education that is widely accessible, supportive and affordable.
To measure the extent to which WGU is succeeding in this mission, Gallup surveyed nearly 2,800 WGU alumni who completed their undergraduate degree between 2018 and 2022 and compared the results to the responses of more than 900 national bachelor's degree holders who completed their degree during the same period.
