Created a free WGU degree planning tool

[bjcheung77]

You're doing a great job, but could you create a few more degree planning tools that map out transfer pathways via Sophia, Study, Saylor, and StraighterLine at UPMI or TESU?

And I created a thread asking members if someone would like to volunteer their time creating such a tool as well, I remember someone did a spreadsheet that automatically placed classes together, I couldn't find that post or thread. It was an awesome spreadsheet for TESU, WGU, but no UMPI. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...nning-Tool

Interesting so the degrees with most transferable courses (27) are:

B.S. Business Management
B.S. Finance
B.S. Information Technology Management

but that's only if you count sophia, study.com and straighterline


it doesn't include comptia certificates, udacity nano degrees, microsoft certificates, oracle certificates or even an associates degree  (the tool includes them, but I don't think your count did)


https://partners.wgu.edu/general-transfe...ogramId=92

for example, if I understand what it says in that link, then an associates degree will cover both the discrete math courses even if you didn't take a discrete math course during your associates degree

This tool posted here only included filters for Sophia, Saylor, Study.com and Straighterline. 

WGU is confusing here because they list the certs that transfer but not how they transfer. I also do not like how they limit tech courses to 5 years which is largely ridiculous as I am still using IT knowledge learned over 20 years ago.

IT courses or degrees must have been completed within 5 years of the student's start date to qualify for transfer.

Great App!

For the "BS Information Technology Management (Catalog 03-2025)", I recommend the following updates:

Code:

WGU.edu - BUS 2090 (D082): Emotional and Cultural Intelligence =
Study.com - Communications 301: Diversity and Intercultural Communication

WGU.edu - BUS 2030 (D075): Information Technology Management Essentials =
Study.com - Business 303: Mgmt Info' Systems (SDCM-0123)

Thirty One (31) courses can be transferred in and only nine (9) courses are required to be taken at WGU for this degree:

Code:

BUS 4890 (QFT1) Business - IT Management Capstone Project, Capstone and Portfolio
BUS 4891 (PFIT) Business - IT Management Portfolio Requirement, Capstone and Portfolio
BUS 2111 (D361) Business Simulation, Business Core
MGMT 4400 (C721) Change Management, Business Management
MGMT 4100 (C720) Operations and Supply Chain Management, Business Management
MGMT 2700 (D253) Values-Based Leadership, Business Management
HRM 3600 (C236) Compensation and Benefits, Human Resources
BUIT 3000 (C724) Information Systems Management, IT Fundamentals
ITEC 2205 (C179) IT Applications, Business of IT

That leaves three (3) courses that also must be taken at WGU, transferred in, or challenged:

Code:

BUS 2080 (D081) Innovative and Strategic Thinking, Business Core
BUS 2140 (D100) Introduction to Spreadsheets, IT Fundamentals
HRM 3200 (C234) Workforce Planning: Recruitment and Selection, Human Resources
