(ARA) - There are hundreds of online colleges and universities out there and it can be difficult to choose the program that is right for you. Flashy logos and clever advertisements can hide the fact that some of these colleges aren't even accredited. Some employers and academic institutions will not consider you as an applicant if your diploma comes from a non-accredited institution. Adult learners don't have time to pick through the hype; they deserve a top-notch online university that works their education around their life, not the other way around.

The United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) has presented two 2008 International Distance Learning Awards to Western Governors University (WGU). WGU is a non-profit, accredited, competency-based online university created specifically to help adult learners fit college into their busy lives. Founded in 1996 by 19 U.S. governors, WGU offers more than 40 programs to more than 10,000 students nationwide.

In recognition of their achievements and success in expanding access to higher education for adults seeking bachelors and master's degrees, WGU received the 21st Century Award for Best Practices in Distance Learning. Dr. Janet Schnitz, executive director of the WGU Teachers College, also received an award for Outstanding Leadership by an Individual in the Field of Distance Learning.

"Western Governors University has raised the bar of excellence and we are truly honored by WGU's contributions to the distance learning industry," says Dr. John Flores, CEO of USDLA.

The prestigious international awards are presented annually to acknowledge major accomplishments in distance learning.

"WGU has been committed to our mission to provide access to higher education through distance learning and our competency-based learning model. We've succeeded in large part because of the dedication of individuals such as Dr. Schnitz," says Dr. Robert Mendenhall, president of WGU.

As a busy adult trying to fit college into a demanding schedule, don't you deserve a well-respected, award-winning, accredited university? WGU's programs are delivered online to allow you to fit learning into your schedule. As a WGU student, you will work with a mentor on a regular basis and follow a personalized Academic Action Plan that builds on your knowledge in your current field.

To find out more about the affordable programs WGU has to offer visit Western Governors University and start working education around your life today.
