Need advice on Study.com and WGU courses

[jsh1138]

I would probably take as many courses as you can to make it so that you finish at WGU in 2 terms.  You have $6000 from FAFSA, and with the $2000 scholarship you can get ($500/term), that will put you at just over $3000/term.  So, if it takes you 2 terms to finish it will be covered with very little out of pocket.

So, do Study.com, do the 7 courses you can finish by the end of the 2nd month with them (I'd include Stats and Org Behavior if possible), and then start at WGU with at least 60cr, more if you can get those.

If you can make it so that everything you take at WGU is computer-related, I think it will be easier to get through than skipping all around to various subjects.  Get those GE's done through Study.com.

Thank you, I liked it how you said that "it will be easier to get through than skipping all around to various subjects"
That should be the primary reason that I should consider, it would be easier if I can just focus on the IT AOS courses instead of skimming through the GenEds and AOS.

I would take as much as you can from Study.com before you transfer over

Thanks!
Since the advice was to take as much courses at Study.com
I am assuming that the cost of taking as much courses would benefit me by finishing within 2 Terms right.
So the cost of taking an additional 7 SDC courses is better than taking another term at WGU even if its covered with Pell Grant.

the whole thing with WGU is that you get the best deal from them by taking the most courses you think you can finish in 6 months. So it's a judgement call. I'm working on Study.com courses right now for when I got to WGU and I don't want to over do it but at the same time I don't want to do 2 terms either. So I'm going to err on the side of doing more at Study.com on the theory that I'd rather spend $300 extra at Study.com than spend 3k extra at WGU with a 2nd term.

But like with the computer programming degree, you don't want to do your certs yourself bc you have to pay for those out of pocket and if you take them at WGU then they pay for them, etc. So you have to think it through. But my plan is to try to do maybe 10-12 courses at WGU and transfer in the rest if I can. We'll see how it goes.
