Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP)
The region’s affordable pathway to graduate education
The Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) is an agreement among WICHE’s 16 members, 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.
Since public-university nonresident tuition rates are typically much higher than resident rates – sometimes by 300 percent or more–WRGP increases affordable higher education options for students, and minimizes student loan debt.
Saving through WRGP is simple.
1Ensure you're eligible
You must be a resident of a WICHE-region state or territory, applying to a participating public university in another Western state.
2Check graduate programs and schools
Search the WRGP Savings Finder to see which universities participate and which graduate programs are WRGP-eligible.
3Meet school and program-specific criteria
Some universities require a minimum GRE score or undergraduate GPA, or have earlier deadlines. Requirements vary by graduate program.
4Apply directly to your school
Contact the graduate school at the university where you want to enroll. Most require applicants to complete a WRGP application to be considered.
