Online Universities
It's becoming increasingly difficult to get into Washington's colleges and universities, and tuition is rising rapidly. Next year it will cost over $10,000 to go to the University of Washington. But you can get a full year of courses for around $6,000 if you want to study online. KUOW's Sprince Arbogast looks at how online offerings compare to traditional college course work.

"As one of the Founders and as a member of WGU’s Board of Trustees since the university’s inception, I highly recommend WGU Washington as a quality institution. This new university provides the state of Washington with another quality higher education alternative—one that takes advantage of 21st century technology and a new learning approach designed to address the needs of working adults."
—Dr. Samuel H. Smith
President Emeritus, Washington State University
"WGU has been the perfect solution for me as it is very affordable, flexible, and responsive to my needs with their extensive mentor system. I have received excellent support at every turn and with this help I expect to graduate in 2 years instead of the usual 4 while still being able to provide for my family."
—Scott Fladgard
College of Business Student, Kingston, WA
"A key aspect of WGU is how you can credibly use work experience to enhance your education experience. By demonstrating my competency in a subject, I know I will be well prepared for my career."
—Jim Parker
College of Business Student, Kirkland, WA
