If you have broadband Internet access, you have access to an affordable online degree from an accredited school like WGU Tennessee.

Just ask Justin Patton from Parrotsville. Justin is a Navy veteran working toward his IT degree from WGU. In his own words, he enjoys “being in the middle of nowhere with nothing else around” but picturesque mountains. Taking classes online on his schedule lets him progress toward a college degree while not disrupting his responsibilities toward his family or his farm.

WGU Tennessee is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year and has bestowed more than 10,000 degrees and given out more than $5.1 million in scholarships to Tennesseans.

WGU is proud to be an investor of the Knoxville Chamber and is committed to helping meet local workforce needs throughout Eastern Tennessee.
