WGU BS Computer Science

[ss20ts]

I did look at WGU Academy. He has already taken the majority of the classes he could have used from WGU Academy at Sophia while it was free. (WGU did take all his Sophia credits, just nothing from the associates). I think the only one that would be useful would be Chemistry, and he's going to take Astronomy from InstantCert Credit instead.

As for just starting at WGU, I don't think he's accelerating fast enough for that to make sense. While I think he does have the ability to accelerate faster, I don't know if he actually would do it. He pretty much took the entire time Sophia had the classes free to complete the 6 he did. I'm hoping actually having to pay going forward will speed him up a little. We're going more for cheap > fast anyway, transfer as much as possible in then hopefully finish the rest in one term.

So far the plan is Astronomy and American Govt. from InstantCert Credit, a whole slew from SDC, and Saylor CS 102 (since I haven't seen anything else that covers Scripting and Programming Applications).

WGU Academy is Straighterline and it has a different transfer policy than Sophia. Something to keep in mind. You're going to be paying for classes at all of those different sources hoping they transfer to WGU. WGU doesn't have the greatest of transfer policies and acceptance rate. Many times it's just easier to take the courses at WGU. Having some easier courses helps when you have a lot of challenging ones.
