I am sure you can find the answers to all of your questions on WGU website. It's not that hard to find it. You are applying for graduate programs, and you shouldn't take them lightly by reluctantly researching on them.

Few questions about WGU:
Can I use loan money to go there?

Contact the WGU financial aid office.

Who are they accredited by?

WGU is regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. However not AACSB accredited if you're looking into the MBA program which may or may not matter to some folk.

Avg cost for a full Masters program?

$3250 per sem I believe for Masters program.

Yes, you can use loan money to go there. They are just like any other college.

WGU is both nationally and regionally accredited. Here is the page: WGU Accreditation | Accredited Online University | Western Governors University Online

The OP stated he was looking into the MS of IT program, not the MBA. I thought about going the MBA route before but outside of the top 25 schools, you don't get as great of earning power and there's not as good of a return on investment.

As far as cost, for the MS-IT program, it's $2890 per 6 month semester.
