-One Course in Humanities (literature, visual and performing arts, music, theatre, philosophy, ethics or religious studies)
-One Course in US History
-One Course in US Government
-2 Courses in Math Higher Than College Algebra (CSM may count for one)
-One Course in Physical Science (Chemistry, Geology, Physics, Astronomy)
-One Course in General Biology
-One Course in Human Growth and Development
-Natural Science Lab
For the sciences, it might easiest to do both sciences courses and labs at StraighterLine.
It isn't that hard just line up courses that sound similar. ex "US history I" works for the US history requirement. Use the StraighterLine link I sent as a guide. If you don't want to take those courses through StraighterLine then just look for the CLEP or study.com course with the same name.
This shouldn't be that hard you can use StraighterLine, study.com, CLEP, DSST and Sophia. I'd recommend CLEP for subjects you already know a lot about as this can be quicker as long as you are near a test center. I'd recommend at least 4 of the courses come from StraighterLine. You could also try Edu4credit or instacert for credits too these just aren't as common. You could use ALEKs for math. WGU only accepts ACE and NOT NCCRS so double check study.com it is on the ACE list. https://study.com/academy/college-accele...tters.html
Also, I forgot in my listing above CLEP and DSST both offer Human Growth and Development tests.
If you do all the gen eds I listed above plus all the education courses I listed in the above thread then you should be in really good shape for WGU and probably be able to do all the courses in one term.
A teaching degree will take a minimum of 3 terms. Term 1: online courses Term 2: pre-student teaching Term 3: student teaching.
Also just a note, applying to WGU and sending transcripts is not the same as enrolling in the program. You can send stuff anytime as long as you aren't ready to enroll and start classes.
OH MY WORD!!! I can't even begin to thank you enough for this! This is fantastic! I was going to comb through the site later today but I think you just did that for me! If I could buy you a coffee, I would. Seriously, THANK YOU!
I hope CSM would count! I have a phobia when it comes to math. I want to conquer it but it intimidates me. It's just a personal weakness that needs to be addressed. I know I am fully capable....we just all have our areas of improvement. I am currently enrolled in Sophia's statistics (about half way through) and doing great, so if I pass that and can use the CSM course I already have, that would be golden.
I will be putting all this information in my spreadsheet and re-evaluate. Again, thank you so much! I know this will help many others in the future as well.
