WGU Academy, a division of Western Governors University (WGU), is an academic program that helps students meet the academic requirements for WGU admission. Tuition is just $150 a month; the Academy’s goal is to help students maintain a low-risk, low-cost method of meeting university requirements. As an employer, WGU Academy has offered hybrid remote jobs in the past in fields like education & training, graphic design, and writing. Depending on the role, team members of WGU Academy’s parent company, Western Governors University, and its subsidiaries, may be eligible for benefits. These benefits may include medical, dental, and vision insurance; retirement savings options; paid time off; life and disability benefits; parental leave; adoption support; and reduced-cost tuition for WGU and WGU Academy.

WGU Academy is a separate entity from WGU; it is integrated with but also independent of the primary university. The Academy’s courses are not remedial, they are simply a "lower-risk" way of starting the college experience for many students who may not be prepared for regular enrollment. Students are guaranteed admission into Western Governors University after completing their program at WGU Academy. The Academy also works with numerous external universities. WGU Academy courses are remote and self-paced. Students have 24/7 access to the university’s learning resources so they can study independently on their schedule. The Academy offers programs designed especially for students seeking a business, education, information technology, or health science degree.
