u/AC-Vb3

It’s been a long journey, but it’s over. I officially have my Bachelor of Science in Business Management.

For those wondering if it’s worth it or how it’s viewed by employers: I was recruited two weeks before my degree was completed for an ITSM process management consultant role at a scientific laboratory, with a six-figure compensation package, about 20% more than my previous role. A degree was required for the role.

So, my thoughts on the overall experience. First, WGU was a great experience. I had no issues with the school or the content. All the hurdles were personal, but the ability to accelerate, along with the support from my mentor during difficult personal challenges, kept me on track.

I worked full time while attending WGU for the duration.

How I did it:

• Transfer Credits: 18 credits
• Term 1 (Jan 2023 – Jun 2023): 34 credits
• Term 2 (Jul 2023 – Dec 2023): 6 credits
• Term 3 (Jan 2024 – Jun 2024): 12 credits
• Term 4 (Jul 2024 – Dec 2024): 12 credits
• Term 5 (Jan 2025 – Jun 2025): 9 credits
• Term 6 (Jul 2025 – Jun 2026): 28 credits

My last term was done with 13 days remaining on the calender.

Hardest classes, in my opinion:

• BUS D080: Managing in a Global Business Environment (only assessment I failed on the first attempt)
• MGMT C722: Project Management

Classes that were way less stressful than I expected:

• BUS C723: Quantitative Analysis for Business
• MATH C955: Applied Probability and Statistics

So was it worth it? Absolutely. WGU’s content was solid, the presentation was exactly what I needed, and the proctored exam process was smooth every single time. The material was challenging but not insurmountable by any means. Because you’re not dealing with a lecture hall trying to decipher the intent, communication style, and personality of a professor in front of you, you can absorb and analyze content in a way that fits how your brain works, which is a good thing.

I do recommend WGU, and I fully intend to return for an MBA at some point in the next couple of years.

Also, this community was a huge help. Thank you all.

I started Project Management (C722) on 6/4/2026 and took the exam late in the evening on 6/18/2026.

This is not an easy class, but it's not extremely difficult either. There is a lot of content to cover, and some sections can be confusing and feel a bit disorganized.

Exactly How I passed:

1. Completed all of the course material and quizzes.
2. Joined the WGU Connect C722 Project Management group and watched all 7 videos in full.
3. Took Practice Test 1 (2.0) in WGU Connect.
4. Took the pre-assessment twice and built a study guide based on the areas where I was weak.
5. Watched this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfv7iwTaJYA&t=1955s. The video also includes a link to a practice exam in the description.
6. Studied intensely for about 10 days. I used ChatGPT to explain difficult concepts in simple terms, then compiled those explanations into a study guide. I reviewed that guide repeatedly and spent the entire day before the exam cramming.

I did not use any other study materials. What you see above is all there is. You will need a basic calculator for the OA.

One final note: the OA had maybe 50% overlap with the pre-assessment. Fair warning, don't assume that doing well on the pre-assessment guarantees you'll pass the OA. Make sure you understand the concepts, not just the questions.
