WGU transcript appeal

[ztkerls]

You can't simply say "World History counted as a science, therefore anything I want to count for a certain spot should count there". I don't know WGU's policies, but the only one that you're upset about that seems to me like it should count how you want it to is MIS.

You are correct and I am aware I shouldn't make a blanket statement of our wants as it is irrelevant to what WGU will decide.  It was based on what I saw as a ludicrous decision to accept World History as science as it is clearly not a science.  If they accept WH as a science, then why not the accept the others as outlined above b/c at least everything I outlined has some relevance, even if each course/exam didn't have a direct correlation?  

It has now been pointed out that World History as science was an error by the WGU transcript evaluator and WGU should be notified so they can correct their error.  

For the MIS issue, I hope you are correct, as well. 

Thanks for helping.   

World History being slotted into a science slot is not a mistake. According to the transfer guidelines, the first Physical Science is "One course in geography. This requirement can also be satisfied by one course, equivalent to 3 units, in the behavioral or social sciences (i.e. history, anthropology, sociology, psychology, economics or political science). " 

The second course for Physical Science is "One course, equivalent to 3 units, in a Physical Science (Chemistry, Geology, Physics, Astronomy)."

Basically, they want a social science and natural science to fulfill the 2 requirements.
