HQ Function

Serves as the central administrative and operational hub, overseeing curriculum development, student services, faculty management, technological infrastructure, and strategic initiatives for its online programs across the United States.

Notable Features:

Modern office facilities designed to support a large administrative staff and the technological backbone of an online institution. As WGU is primarily an online university, its 'campus' is virtual, with the physical headquarters focused on operational excellence and support.

Work Culture:

The work culture at WGU's headquarters is mission-driven, emphasizing student success, innovation in online education, and collaboration. There is a strong focus on leveraging technology and data analytics to enhance learning outcomes and operational efficiency.

HQ Significance:

The Salt Lake City headquarters is vital for coordinating the university's extensive online operations, ensuring consistent quality, support, and accessibility for its large and geographically dispersed student population.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters' operations reflect WGU's core values of student-centricity, innovation, accessibility, integrity, and opportunity, by enabling a scalable and effective online learning model.

Location:

Western Governors University primarily serves students residing in the United States. However, its online model allows U.S. active-duty military personnel and their families stationed overseas to access its programs. WGU's 'global presence' is thus characterized by its ability to support these specific U.S. individuals globally through its robust online platform, rather than through physical international campuses. The university is not currently accepting applications from non-U.S. citizens living outside the United States, unless they are eligible military-affiliated individuals.
