Degrees were awarded to 891 graduates from 48 states, the largest number WGU has graduated within a six-month period. WGU awarded 514 undergraduate degrees and 377 graduate degrees. WGU holds graduation ceremonies twice each year.
More than 90 graduates, along with family members and friends, attended WGU’s Summer Commencement on July 11, 2009, at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah.
WGU invited 5 Houston grads and their families to assemble at the Crowne Plaza Houston Medical Center to watch and celebrate together.With WGU’s commencement being held 1,600 miles away, these graduates were not able to attend commencement in person. So, they attended commencement the same way they earned their degrees—online—via live streaming video.
