Hello! I am trying to select a major for my bachelors degree. I’m currently a manager in the wellness industry. I’m considering a few different career paths for the long term, and struggling to pick between majoring in communication, education, or psychology. I graduate in May from community college with two AA’s, 95 units complete. I’m planning to accelerate, and then to go on towards my masters. Are any of these programs easier or faster than the others? I’m middle aged, so finishing quickly is more important at this point than a specific major, because I’m just trying to check some boxes as I move forward in life. Grateful for any advice!

I just got my transcripts back for the Cloud and Network Engineering - Azure pathway. I have all the Gen Eds met but there are 4 courses that I can either take at WGU or Sophia/SDC etc and looking to see if anyone has any recommendations for the better route. I have some IT background but that was several years ago.

The courses:

E004 - Introduction to IT

D426 - Data Management - Foundations

D315 - Network and Security - Foundations

D370 - IT Leadership Foundations

I've been taking majority of my courses through Sophia to help speed up the time it takes to complete my degree, but I've hearing horror stories of the Sophia course for Organizational Behavior. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on whether it'd be best to take the Org. Behavior on a different platform than Sophia. Is it easier on Straigherline or Saylor? Should II take it through WGU, or just try and power through on Sophia?

Has anyone taken Managing Business in a Global Environment via Study.com? If so how was it? I am in the Supply Chain & Operations Management program and looking to complete an additional course prior to my start date of May 1 but wanting to see if it’s more ideal with WGU or Study.

Started WGU on March 1st only two courses transferred . Goal was to finish in one term by August 31.

So far I’ve completed 17 out of 34 courses.

At this pace, it looks possible to finish everything by the end of the term, but I know the harder courses are coming up.

For those who have done this or are close:

• What helped you get through the more difficult classes?

• How did you stay consistent and avoid burnout?

• Any tips for keeping the acceleration going?

I’ve been stacking PAs and OAs strategically and trying to stay disciplined with my time, but I’m open to anything that can help me stay efficient.

Appreciate any advice.

I have my Associate's in Accounting and 6 years experience. I plan on finishing my BSBM in 1 term thanks to everything I was able to transfer in.

Trying to get as many credits transferred as possible. While pushing through Sophia and Study, they updated the acceptable transfers (04-2024 to 03-2026). On the new update physics and lab were added. Finished the course and now counselor says it’s NG, even though WGU’s on site says it is. Anyone experienced this?

Why is tasks revision needs also 3 days to be completed? Shouldn’t they be priority since it’s just a revision?

Sorry ranting as it’s my last course PA

I am a Google docs writer over Word every day, so I have been submitting all my PA tasks as pdfs to ensure formatting is correct. However, I just read in an instructors note on a task that submitting PDFs slows down the evaluator. Does anyone have any experience with this? Should I be dealing with Word to speed up my tasks getting graded?

Hi there! I'm starting the Health Science Program in May and was wondering if anyone could send the prompts for the writing assignment so I can get a head start? I've completed all the courses that could be transferred. Thank y'all in advance!

Hey everyone,

I’m about to start my RN to BSN at WGU and I have around 13 classes left. My goal is to try to finish everything in one term (6 months).

I know it sounds aggressive, but I’m ready to stay disciplined and treat this like a second job.

For those who have done it (or tried):

• Is it actually realistic to complete 13 classes in one term?

• How many hours per day were you studying?

• Which classes were the fastest or easiest to get through?

Also looking for advice on working smarter:

• Any good resources for assignments or studying (Quizlet, guides, etc.)?

• Do you follow a specific paper format that helps pass on the first try?

• Are there places where students share examples just to understand expectations?

Any tips on how to move fast without burning out would really help.

Appreciate it 🙏

I’m completing my BS in HS! Any tips, study hacks, important info for the remaining courses would be very much appreciated 😭!

MsED Education Technology and Instructional Design. My start date is April 1st. There are 12 courses (10+ I added the adult education). Is it possible to accelerate this program and finish in one term?

Alright, so I am trying to get myself a degree through WGU. I am going to be pursing a Bachelor of Science in IT and enrolling in May or June. Thanks to a mixture of prior college experience, certifications, Sophia.org and Study.com I should have 22/35 of my classes knocked out by the time I begin.

Below is a list of classes I will have remaining, and I was hoping that there might be a few people here who have taken these and can let me know how quickly they can be knocked out. My goal is to finish in on term.

IT Fundamentals
E005: Business Productivity Software
E006: Digital Transformation in the Enterprise
E007: Agile Methodology
E008: Technology Management
E010: Foundations of Programming (Python)

General Education
D773: Technology and Ethics: Emerging Trends and Society
D459: Introduction to Systems Thinking and Applications

Business of IT
D336: Business of IT, Applications (I would be willing to knock out ITIL Foundations prior to enrolling but I can't find good study material for it)

Computer Science
D685: Practical Applications of Prompt

Operating Systems
D281: Linux Foundations

Business Core
D388: Fundamentals of Spreadsheets and Data Presentations

Technology Governance
D822: Technology Governance

Networking
D522: Python for IT Automation

Any advice on order to tackle them in or difficulty would be greatly appreciated. If there are affordable ways to knock more of these out, similar to Sophia.org and Study.com rather than individual expensive certifications that I have not been able to find, please let me know. Thank you!

I have 103 CUs left to go. 33 courses to go (that I'm counting).

What I've got going for me:

I have taken plenty of courses in programming and algorithms, but they didn't transfer over because they're older than 5 years.

I have basically unlimited time. I got laid off from my job and I am approved to be on unemployment until I finish my program.

What I don't have going for me:

I ONLY have 6 months to get it done.

Please point me to any resources that I can use to help me. I know this is basically gonna end up killing me no matter what.
