Just finished the software engineering bachelors! Even though it was finished in 6 months it does not add the time I did study.com pre-reqs to transfer in maximum credit. If you’re seeing this and you’re skeptical about getting your degree please commit! I’ve learned a lot and I am finally happy to say that I am proud to be a WGU alumni.
I’m considering temporary travel outside the U.S. during the online coursework portion only.
I would return to the U.S. for demonstration teaching/student teaching.
I couldn't miss the obligatory completion post! I love celebrating these with you all, and finally being able to post my own is a great feeling. I started the program on 2/1 and didn't transfer in any credits. I work full-time in a PM role and I would say that's what truly helped me a ton here. If anyone has any questions or needs support with the same program or classes, feel free to reach out!!
Hello to the group. I maxed out the amount of transfer credits using Sophia and Study.com, I wanted to get your opinion on what classes I should take at WGU first or how to best proceed to accelerate my degree. After my transcript evaluation was done these are my remaining classes that I have to finish at WGU:
Introduction to Spreadsheets
Innovative and Strategic Thinking
Workforce Planning: Recruitment and Selection
Operations and Supply Chain Management
Compensation and Benefits
Change Management
Business of IT - Applications
Information Systems Management
Business - IT Management Capstone Project
Business - IT Management Portfolio Requirement
Business Simulation
Please any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone! I’m getting ready to start the B.S. Business Management program at WGU on June 1st, and I’m looking for some last-minute advice from current students, alumni, or anyone recently graduated from the program.
I only have 15 courses left to complete my degree (I attached my remaining classes), and I wanted to ask:
- How were these classes for you overall?
- Which classes were the easiest or most difficult?
- Were the proctored exam classes hard? I’m especially nervous about those two classes.
- For graduates, how long did it take you to finish your remaining courses?
- Do you think it’s realistic to accelerate and finish 15 courses quickly?
A little about me: I’m currently a child care teacher and hoping to switch careers with this degree. If anyone has successfully transitioned into a new career field with this degree, I would love to hear your experience as well.
Also, if you have any tips, study advice, acceleration strategies, or words of encouragement, please feel free to share. I’m honestly super nervous but also excited to start this next chapter. Thank you so much in advance!
I have finished all my courses for the term but I have to wait until June 1 to start next term. Is this normal? I feel like I am going to waste time.
Hi, I’ve been studying for this exam and I saw some comments saying that Quizlet questions are really good. Is there anyone who has taken the exam recently, and what did you use as a study source?👀
So I feel like the answer is most likely no, but I would like hear from other peoples take on this degree. Is it easier than other degrees? How long did it take you? I did some research and made a google doc on tips/guides for each class and I found which ones are easy and which ones will take time. I'm sure I can ask my mentor to allow me to pick and choose the order of classes I want to take once I finish the first set of classes. If that's the case I'll try and finish all easy classes first. For context I work full time and I plan to dedicate 24-28 hours a week. Though I may get a promotion soon that will take away my dedicated time for school.
Originally when I applied, I was told I could pick the order of my courses. I spent a lot of time in these subreddits, developed the order I wanted, and started working on vocab for the hardest class I wanted to start with on 6/1...
But today the advisor said I had to do them in the order they wanted, easiest to hardest... Is this just my advisor or ?
Man, this class is a TON of information. It’s hard to digest everything. For those of you who have taken the OA, do the labs and practice tests prepare you a fair amount? Trying to figure out what to focus on the most since there’s so much!
Thanks!
Hi. I started 4/1/26 with just a couple transfer credits. I have accelerated more than I imagined and have 8 courses left. If I stay on track, I expect to be done before June possibly. I am planning to take the MBA asap. I have been told that I can't start it until October 1 - -after this current semester - even though I will be done so early and am a cash paying student. I am worried about losing momentum! Has anyone else been in a similar situation? TY.
Hey guys, Am current stressed out on this Python Foundation course. I took the OA and did badly even though I thought my codes were right. I will appreciate any tip and help to knock down my second attempt.🙏🙏
Hello everyone, is anyone accelerating through the new MSIT Program? I'd love to hear how it's going. I'm hoping to complete it in 1 term, but I already have 3 courses transferring over from the BSIT.
I’m waiting for my final classes to be graded at Sophia and will be enrolling at WGU for a BSSCOM. For anyone who has taken these classes, any tips or advice you can give? Anything is appreciated
I’m new to WGU and am about to start my BS in psych on July 1 and want to get it done in one term. I have an associates degree already so I’m already 24% done with the entire program once the transferable credits come in. Is this doable? Any recommendations?
Hello, I 21f am starting my program in August. I transferred in 19 credits, and have 102 remaining (34 courses). I will post the photo showing which classes I have, but was wondering if it’s possible to get done in 1-2 terms?
