Graduate programs currently participating in WRGP
Not all Ph.D., Graduate, and Certificate programs are offered at the WRGP tuition rate. Program participation may change at any time. WICHE guidelines mandate that if a department/program elects to discontinue participation in the WRGP program, it will hold harmless any currently enrolled graduate students who were previously awarded the discounted WRGP rate, and we will charge them the discounted rate through their graduation. The WRGP rate is only for full-time students (from WICHE member states/territories) enrolling on the UU campus, in a WRGP-eligible graduate program. Fully online programs are not eligible.

Note: Beginning Fall 2024, the University of Utah will charge 150% of in-state tuition for new WRGP students enrolling full time in eligible programs. For students admitted before Fall 2024, the university will continue to charge the rate a student was awarded at the time they began their program.
WRGP Application Process

• Applicants must meet the WRGP admission requirements and deadlines set by the Academic Departments. This information may be obtained from the Academic Department.
• If your program is eligible, apply directly to your degree program or department and identify yourself as WICHE WRGP applicant.
