Take Advantage of Reduced Tuition Rates
The Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) is an agreement among 16 WICHE member states and territories, through which participating Western public universities allow WICHE-region students to attend select out-of-state graduate certificate, master’s and doctoral programs – and pay up to 150 percent of resident tuition. At USD, the WRGP rate is equal to the in-state rate. The WRGP tuition rate only applies to on-campus courses.
