Purdue Global BS IT - End of first term

[ClockworkHammer]

I've just submitted my final paper for my first 10-week term at Purdue Global (ExcelTrack BS IT degree) and wanted to post an update.

PG uses the quarter credit system, so 180 quarter credits are required to graduate. I transferred in 124 credits, which left 56 to complete within the program. The 56 quarter credits translates to nine courses (each with 5 or 6 modules, 1 module = 1 credit) and the capstone.

At the end of the first term, I have completed 35 of the 56 credits. That leaves me with two full courses (12 modules), two partial courses (3 modules) and the capstone yet to complete. The capstone is a group project with a weekly one-hour call that runs the length of the 10 week term.

I work full time and have a family, so I've had to get creative to cram in time to get assignments done. Lots of late nights! Having IT experience helped greatly with some of the coursework.

I plan to finish the program in the second term that runs from mid-May to the end of July. Looking forward to being done!

Let me know if you have any questions. I will post a deeper dive once I am done to give a better overview of the program.
