INDIANAPOLIS — WGU Indiana’s enrollment has reached 4,122 students as it celebrates four years of educating Hoosiers. The milestone coincides with the university’s announcement of $400,000 in scholarships across its four colleges.

“Our enrollment growth is a good indicator that busy adults are energized by a university model that works for them,” said chancellor of WGU Indiana, Allison Barber. “WGU Indiana’s flexible, online model provides people, who want to finish a bachelor’s degree or earn a master’s, the perfect pathway to accomplishing their goal. We are pleased with our growth and we expect to help even more Hoosiers go further.”

Launched in 2010 with the intention of providing quality education to adults in Indiana, WGU Indiana has since graduated over 1,800 Hoosiers and become a staple in the state’s workforce development with 98 percent of employers asking for more WGU Indiana graduates.
