SDC Best Route?

Take Introduction to Programming before Data Structures & Algorithms because you need to learn Java first before you are able to write a program using Java in Data Structures & Algorithms for the assignment.

WGU Software I & II is Java-based and the bulk of the degree so plan on getting very comfortable using Java.  

WGU Software 1 & 2 give you the option of doing either java or C#  

just skip study.com and sign up for wgu

Why would I skip a $630 way of getting 29 credits that could possibly make me go a second semester into WGU? I'd rather increase the odds of a single semester to graduate. I'm going to be working, so it's unlikely I'd do the rest without the transfer credits in a single semester and I'd rather risk wasting $630 than risk spending another semester of tuition.

I agree, there's less risk in taking credits at a provider like Study.com, and then transferring them in; but some people plan on just doing an additional term at WGU; it may turn out to be less per credit than Study.com.  But, it's a risky move.

Each person has to weigh the costs, and do an analysis of how they want to do the degree.  1 term at WGU for 30cr is very doable, with those long 6-mo terms.  But once you start needing more than 30cr, it starts to get less and less doable for some.  I personally would rather bring in the max credits, even if it ends up costing a bit more per credit, in order to maximize my chances of getting done in a single term.
