I’ve heard some people talk about getting Sophia learning subscription free after paying for the first month through referrals, by sending it to yourself or something?
The information I know is vague but does anyone know anything about this?
Anyone know how or what the process is in getting a scholarship?
Some guidance and tips are greatly appreciated.
I’m scheduled to start OCT 1st.
I am 45% done with a course, and turns out my degree doesn’t require it. How can I drop a course? I don’t see a button on where to drop it.
Can someone PLEASE HELPP.
A ton of people ask which WGU degrees give them the best chance of actually getting hired. This is a list of WGU paths that I think give you the best shot at getting your foot in the door quickly.
A couple notable alternatives:
WGU BS + MS Computer Science or Software Engineering: Perfectly fine, but I'd strongly consider Georgia Tech's MSCS instead if you can handle it. Graduates from Georgia Tech get interviews at elite companies like Google and Microsoft much more easily.
WGU Accounting BS + WGU Accounting MS + CPA: Good long-term credentials, but without an internship, getting that first accounting job can still be difficult. Once you get a year of experience things will get easier, but this list is about getting the first job quickly and easily.
These obviously aren't the only WGU degrees that can lead to good careers. This list is only about combinations that are likely to make getting your first job quick and easy.
Start date is Sept 1st. Any tips, tricks, or things to know about getting BS in Business Management at WGU?? Very nervous and excited. Would love to be prepared 😊
For anyone who transferred as many Sophia and study.com courses as possible before starting/restarting at WGU:
How long did the readmission/transfer evaluation process take from submitting your transcripts to being cleared to start?
If you had 14 OA (proctored) classes left, how long did it take you to complete all 14?
How many hours a day were you studying?
Were the 14 classes mostly accounting/business courses, and were any significantly harder or more time-consuming than the others?
I’m trying to figure out if finishing 14 OAs in about 1.5 months is realistic. Any experiences would be really helpful!
For accounting btw
Hello fellow owls! I went ahead and took the PA raw for C213 and after studying and feeling confident I took the OA however, in my first attempt on the OA, I did not pass. I’m a little disappointed, but I know that it is OK and I have additional tries. Can somebody please guide me and let me know what is the best approach to pass this class? Any and all suggestions will be helpful. Ty!
Hello
I am thinking about enrolling in at WGU and pursuing a degree in business management/admin. Anyone that has graduated or is currently in the process of taking classes to graduate in this program I’m looking for advice. I currently come from a healthcare profession. I’m looking for details such as are the classes hard, do you think it’s doable working full-time? Overall, how is your experience and is it overall worth getting the degree? I’m very nervous as you can tell. Typically how long does it take to graduate/ finish classes?
I PASSED THE OA!!! LFG
Has anyone recently taken and passed this class? I am begging for any good pointers at this point 😭 I have failed my 4th attempt awaiting 5th attempt approval.
Out of the entire degree ive never failed a class this much, maybe the most i ever failed was 3x for one class.
The OA is super application based and every time i view the answer options its always two could be right so its choosing between whichever is MORE right which obviously I cant even do that. Im super frustrated.
I’m a recent graduate with BSCNE and received this email. The Alumni Coordinator that reached out to me said “Since there are only about 115 BSCNE alumni nationwide, I figured this was a group worth reaching out to directly.” I find that an amazingly low number for this degree and this school, but maybe. 🤷♂️
If you’re a recent graduate and interested in a weekend in SLC, reach out to your Alumni coordinator and BE THE FACE OF WGU!! lol
Hello To The Community!
I just joined Reddit and this community, so I really hope I am on the right page for the WGU BS in Business Management program! If there is a better or more specific subreddit for this degree, please let me know.
I am trying to map out my transfer strategy for 2026 using third-party platforms (like Sophia and Study.com), but I am getting really conflicted information online about what is actually allowed to transfer right now.
I am currently signed up with STUDY.COM but if they are not available there then I will use other options.
Could anyone who recently went through the evaluation process look at my list and tell me which of these are still transferable, and which ones I will definitely have to take directly through WGU?
Here are the 12 courses I am looking at:
D388 — Fundamentals of Spreadsheets and Data Presentations (3 CU)
D081 — Innovative and Strategic Thinking (3 CU)
D353 — Strategic Training and Development (3 CU)
D354 — Talent Acquisition (3 CU)
D253 — Values-Based Leadership (3 CU)
C721 — Change Management (3 CU)
C717 — Business Ethics (3 CU)
D099 — Sales Management (3 CU)
D175 — Consumer Behavior (3 CU)
QGT1 — Business Management Capstone Written Project (4 CU)
QHT1 — Business Management Tasks (3 CU)
D361 — Business Simulation (4 CU)
Thank you all so much for the help and for this community!
Hello WGU students and alumni,
I am looking to advance my career and am hoping to encounter another redditor who was in a similar position to mine. I have been with X company for over 5 years and moved to a “career” position in Operations as a production supervisor 3 years ago. I am looking to make my next move within my career whether in or outside of X company, likely needing a degree to surpass my peers or make a lateral/vertical move “requiring” a degree.
Who earner their degree from WGU and excelled in their career shortly after? I am looking at BS in Business management or Project management.
Another degree, another diploma! Thanks to this community for all of the help. Gonna try to stay active and offer any advice/help I can.
I thoroughly enjoyed this degree, and it definitely challenged me at times, but I'm worried that I completed it too fast. I took a two-week break after C214 to try and pace myself, but I hate leaving things incomplete. I'm just afraid that it will raise suspicion when I list on my resume that I started in July and finished in August
I need 10 credits in SNHU electives anyone know of any classes I can take that don’t have home work that takes a whole day to grade assignments.
Leave a comment if you have suggestions thank you.
I plan on graduating in 2 months. Hence not wanting to take hard or have lengthy wait times for assignments🤪
To new Sophia members: Enjoy $20 off sophia learning! Please look through the comments below to find a discount code for sophia!
To Sophia members wanting to share your referral codes:
In order to clean up the spam in the sub, I'd like to start a megathread for all referral codes. I think this will be a great way to keep conversations flowing without being immediately drowned out. As of right now, this megathread will be wiped and recreated on a regular basis.
So starting now, creating a post to advertise your referral codes will result in a temporary ban.
Thanks for reading. I think we all will be happy to see a less spammy sub!
Following is a list of free resources that are available either specifically for WGU students or for anyone with an @.edu email address.
These should all be free. If you find more, let me know and I will add them to the list. In addition to the free stuff, many companies offer discounts for students. Please note that any free student resources from Microsoft must be accesssed using username@student.wgu.edu, not your username@wgu.edu address. In related news, If you use Amazon, configure AmazonSmile to donate a percentage of every purchase to the WGU scholarships fund at no expense to you.
Hi all, relatively new, but I started following this sub when I was looking for material to help with praxis studying. I found very little for the business (5101), in general, for free. I made a 181/200, and wanted to share my thoughts for future soon-to-be business teachers.
My background: BS in Accounting, working on my MAT for licensure in business education; been subbing about a year
Materials:
I student teach next semester, so I cut my testing really close, but it is possible. I passed my PLT 7-12, too, using study.com and stuff from school. I didn't buy practice tests, test taking books, or anything.
Good luck to any future business educators!
