Help Planning WGU Prerequisites Using Saylor, Sophia, and Study.com - GoldGoblin - 02-19-2025
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to enroll at WGU and want to complete as many prerequisites as possible using Saylor, Sophia, and Study.com. I’d love some guidance on creating a plan that maximizes transfer credits and efficiency.
A little background—I’m 35, a brick mason who got into day trading, and now I’m looking to earn a bachelor's and master's in finance and accounting to strengthen my LinkedIn profile. I’m not very knowledgeable about college classes or how this whole process works, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you have experience mapping courses from these platforms to WGU degrees, I’d love to hear from you. Also, if anyone can send me links to other threads that cover this topic, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!

It's pretty easy to map out credits using the WGU partners page:
https://partners.wgu.edu/home
Start with Sophia(quickest, easiest, cheapest), map out all the credits you can, then move to Study.com.
Sophia example for a Finance degree:

To understand the Sophia number codes, you may need to match them up using this guide

So, I see what you are showing me and understand what you are asking me to do. Is there any specific order I should start doing the classes, or should I pick one and get at it?
RE: Help Planning WGU Prerequisites Using Saylor, Sophia, and Study.com - bjcheung77 - 02-20-2025
No particular order, but you want to do a subscription at a time, start with Sophia.org until everything you need from them is complete, then Study.com (be sure to use a coupon code link, such as the one in my bio/signature to get a discount). Once you have all you can transfer in, you complete the rest of the degree at the institution for residency purposes and for classes that can't transfer over.

A heartfelt thank you to bjcheung77 and LevelUP for your kindness and generosity in assisting me on this website, despite my having nothing to offer in return except my faith in the Most High God. May God bless you both abundantly in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I sincerely wish you success and fulfillment in all that you do—may your efforts flourish and prosper through His grace. Amen.
