Western Governors University

Western Governors University (WGU), a nonprofit, fully online university, and IPHCA have renewed their collaborative partnership to strengthen Illinois’ healthcare workforce through access to flexible, affordable, and competency-based degree programs. The renewed Memorandum of Understanding reinforces both organizations’ commitment to developing and retaining healthcare professionals across the state.

Through the extended partnership, employees of IPHCA’s member organizations will maintain access to WGU’s extensive suite of online undergraduate and graduate programs in healthcare, business, IT, and education. Scholarship opportunities, including WGU’s Community Outreach Partner Scholarship and Online Access Scholarship, will remain available to qualifying IPHCA staff to reduce financial and digital barriers to education. 

WGU’s model allows students to complete coursework on their own schedules, progressing as soon as they demonstrate mastery—an especially critical option for working adults in high-demand fields like nursing and health administration. Read More
