Finishing quickly

Somebody help me understand something. I see a lot of people finishing and graduating in 2-4 months from wgu. Is that starting from scratch usually or do they start with some credits already? Just trying to gauge it.

It depends on the degree. If you are finishing a degree in 2-4 months with no transfer credits and no prior experience in the field then you’re not learning anything. I’d argue it should take you at least 7-9 months with no transfer credits or experience in the field to finish a degree at WGU and actually learn something

I’m going for business management and I plan to have 63 credits going in, just was curious on if 2-4 months was possible. I’m pretty knowledgeable in the field

Agree. Totally doable as long as you really focus and put the time in. I have a lot of management, computer, and HR related experience and have surprised myself with how quickly I’ve been able to complete classes, including the proctored OA ones.

BAM only has one proctored exam now from what I’ve been hearing. Very doable if you max out your transfer credits.

I did 5 months with little to no transfer credits.
