| Western Governors University is the
only university to have received simultaneous
accreditation by four regional accrediting
commissions. Currently, WGU's "home"
accrediting commission is the Northwest
Commission on Colleges and Universities,
the same organization that accredits
such leading institutions as the University
of Washington, University of Oregon,
University of Utah, BYU, and other public
and private colleges. WGU is also nationally
accredited by the Distance Education
and Training Council (DETC). |
