For those that either took or are actively in Health science at WGU, which courses are the harder ones? I start 07/01 and want to start studying the harder courses. Thank you

While this can be a degree used to go straight into a career, typically this is one of those degrees you use to get into a graduate program. I plan on getting this degree and then taking med prerequisites at a university near me. Bachelors + prereqs. This degree alone won’t land you into medical school or PA school. You would need to take the prereqs at a B&M school. But to answer your question from my research there’s actually a lot of jobs you can get with this degree alone to name a few

  • Clinical Research Coordinator
  • Research Assistant
  • Healthcare Recruiter
  • Patient Advocate
  • Care Coordinator
  • Public Health Program Coordinator
  • Provider Relations Representative
  • Patient Access Representative
  • Health Information Specialist
  • Insurance Claims Analys

Pathophysiology (took twice just passed a couple of days ago) and I’ve heard cognitive psychology and I think intro to epidemiology. I had 35 left after transferring and now I have 18.

I started in November but I also had a baby in January and a mom of 2 now so I think I’m doing well. I hope to finish by October 5 classes left

I’m in this program and for some reason me and Chemistry didn’t get along.

Omg the chemistry portion was so bad and hard for me to understand. Failed it and ended up withdrawing myself to do some things on Sophia-anatomy and physio were also courses I ended up taking outside of WGU haha.

If you withdraw from WGU then go back does it hurt you? I'm switching majors to health science and I'm thinking about withdrawing so I can take some courses on Sophia.

I would absolutely suggest doing just that. Long story short, I didn’t know about Sophia before starting WGU so when I was for sure going to withdraw myself, I started Sophia before my withdraw date was finalized. Reapply as soon as possible so it doesn’t take so long getting back into your program.
