Sanity Check - WGU BSITM

[echondo]

Hello everyone,

TL;DR footnotes;

• Mid-20s
  
• No college until now
  
• Have 4 CC classes done, and 8 Sophia classes done. 36 units.
  
• Degree wanted: WGU's B.S. BA degree in IT Management(BSITM)
  
• Goal: Latest next summer, June 2023. Earlier is better, but not needed.
  
• Time commitment: Have a wife, no kids. Full time job, but flexible hours and 24/7 schedule, trying to get on night shift to work on school more while at work(supervisors encouraging).
  
• Why WGU?: I am open to more options, however I am more comfortable with WGU due to all of my managers for the past 10 years have gotten degrees from WGU and my wife is doing her MBA through WGU right now.
  
• Financials: Cash flowing, no need for loans or anything. But cheaper the better, obviously.
  

Background info;


I am in my mid-20s and I have about 10 years of professional IT experience. I recently started going back to school due to having zero college since graduating high school, also when trying to get a promotion at work I was denied due to "not having a degree" even though I had experience in the area they wanted. I want to eventually get into "Manager" and "Director" roles in IT, so my end goal is a B.S. in Business Administration IT Management via WGU. And maybe get my MBA or a IT Masters degree in the future(5-10 years from now). I have been admitted to WGU, but not enrolled. I did this years ago so my mentor has changed since I last called, but I figured once I am done with CC and Sophia/Straighterline/SDC(SSS) I'll call and get everything back online and transfer my stuff in.

College experience so far;

Local CC classes completed(computers does not transfer into WGU from what I can find, might be able to get the spreadsheets class knocked out by it):

• Accounting I 
  
• Art History I
  
• Intro to Computers
  
• United States History I
  

Sophia classes completed(still in my first month):

• CA1001 (Algebra)
  
• STAT1001 (Statistics)
  
• ENVS1001 (Env. Science)
  
• ECON1001 (Macroecon)
  
• BUS1001 (Intro to Business)
  
• FIN1001 (Principles of Finance)
  
• PM1001 (Project Management)
  
• CS1011 (Intro to Relational Databases)
  

I have a running spreadsheet of classes that I can transfer from SSS(per WGU's partner pages) and I am checking them off as I complete them. I have 4 more classes from Sophia to do(not including English I and II, thinking of Straighterline or SDC due to grading times at Sophia). So far I have been focusing on non-essay classes at Sophia since I can sit down and knock them out one at a time really quickly instead of juggling an essay class here and there.

So, let me know if I am doing anything wrong or if I am missing something. I was doing CC classes before I found out about SSS and this forum, but once I heard of Sophia on the WGU sub-reddit I fell down the rabbit hole and stopped doing CC classes completely. Just too slow and too much money per unit, didn't make any sense to continue doing CC classes in my eyes.

Let me know if anyone has any questions! Thanks everyone!
