Our Impact

How we’re making education more equitable, accessible, and effective.

WGU Labs threads together ideation, innovation and the science of learning to advance radical change in the post-secondary system. As trailblazers, thinkers, and doers in the space, we are committed to increasing equity and building learning environments where all students can succeed.

Our innovation funnel and research agenda guide our approach to business strategy, planning, and decisions. With our partners, we move ideas and solutions through the phases of ideation, piloting, and incubation by asking questions, evaluating merit, and providing direction on our clients’ and our own projects.
