Highly Affordable Tuition Rates

The Princeton Review said it best when discussing UWG as being, "one of the best overall bargains – based on cost and financial aid – among the most academically outstanding colleges in the nation." UWG is ranked by numerous outlets as a top ten affordable school for online programs. Best Value Schools named UWG as having the #1 Best Doctorate in Education (Ed.D.) Degrees in 2023. These top rankings are in large part that students pay the same rate for online programs whether in-state or out-of-state.

Earn Credit for Work Experience

Student Support

From the on-campus Counseling Center to Career Services, UWG never fails to support students through any adversities. Our low student-teacher ratios are also always a plus. In addition to the on-campus support, there are several resources for online students as well as graduate student specific resources.
