Looking for help with getting WGU CS credit before starting
#4
Are you saying you already have the credits you listed? And you did not say if any of your sciences have a lab component, which you need. You also did not put the number of credits each course is worth (or at least, not the CC ones). That's important.

The problem with WGU is they use very few Gen Ed credits.

Here's where your credits would come in:
CLEP College Comp - will fulfill English Comp
CLEP Calculus - will fulfill Calculus
CLEP Psychology - will fulfill Geography
CLEP Sociology - nowhere to go
AP Biology - will fulfill Integrated Physical Sciences & Lab (if it's a lab)
Honors Physics 1 - will fulfill Integrated Physical Sciences & Lab (if it's a lab)
General Chemistry - will fulfill Integrated Physical Sciences & Lab (if it's a lab)
*only 1 of these sciences will work, the rest you will "lose"
CLEP Chemistry - duplicate
Intro stats - will fulfill Stats
Intro to Computer Science - don't need this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FYI, when I stick your credits into a TESU degree plan for the BACS, you actually come out ahead of WGU. You need a lot of the same things, so you might consider getting the credits you need for WGU GE, and then figuring out if you're better off switching to TESU with a single 16cr term instead.

Both need Oral Comm, so you could take Public Speaking for that to cover both
Both need Ethics, you could take the Ethics in Technology DSST exam to cover both
Both need civics, American Government CLEP covers both (or ICC)
Both need Humanities, the A&I Lit CLEP is good there; or else an easy Sophia course
TESU needs a history and 2 socsci/hist/hum courses in addition, which are easy enough to get later
Then tings that are duplicate in the major that would cover both.

Then you can see what it would take to finish at both schools. I think you may enjoy TESU more. And the price may be similar.
