NEED WGU ADVICE - BSB-HR and transfer credits?

[jessikalauren]

I'll have to figure out a way to connect you with my son so you guys can cheer each other on. He's not on this forum. He's working on Employment Law right now, trying to get through as much of it as possible prior to his start date.

I sent you a private message with my email address, but now I don't see it in my "sent" folder, let me know if you don't receive it?

I started on StraighterLine tonight and while I'm tearing through it rather quickly, I still prefer the "test only" format of CLEP/DSST so I'm going to keep plugging through those until my enrollment for WGU is complete and I begin courses. (I plan to get through four StraighterLine courses, just enough to apply for the scholarship )

Also, thanks to your signature (Rowan) I saw that I could take Spreadsheets & Project Management at Saylor - did WGU accept these for your son's degree consideration? Did he like the Saylor courses, and how do they compare to SL?

Spreadsheets is one of the few non-transferable courses. He did take Intro to Business, Corporate Communication, and Marketing at Saylor and liked them a lot - they were the easier of the Saylor courses. He took both Economics via Saylor and bombed terribly on them, so re-rook at SL. As far as the three he took at Saylor, I do recommend those. Particularly Corporate Communication because it doesn't require any writing, and Marketing b/c last I checked SL doesn't offer that one. I have heard terrible things about Intro to Business being unreasonably difficult at WGU, so definitely take that one ahead of time.

Everything on my sig line was accepted at WGU other than Personal Finance which he took for the guardian scholarship at Study.com.

This is fantastic info, thank you so much! I still have 5 DSST vouchers to use before they expire so I'm going to do Intro to Business that way (I'm actually scheduled to test while I'm on vacation in Denver at a local comm college). Good to know about spreadsheets, I was going to bug my enrollment advisor about this. I wish I'd talked to you about Corporate Communication via Saylor before I started last night on Business Communication through SL. I think there are two more papers left to write.

Thank you again! So awesome your son is going through all of this while he's young, I wish I had discovered these resources a long time ago. I was up until 2 plowing through StraighterLine, this hurts a LOT more in the morning when you're 30 ugh.
