I'm really glad to hear this. I'm starting my masters on May 1st and I'm really nervous about it. I didn't think I'd ever be able to afford getting my masters but here we are. Congratulations!!!
I totally loved this school so much! It was a bit more independent study than I would’ve liked. I’m more of a hands-on/kinesthetic learner. I will say that I had a professor literally call me to help me on a project once. WGU is extremely supportive!
@@KarenGonzalez-ls3pjgood luck with your program! Definitely learn about your study habits and skills so you understand how you best learn. I’m more than happy to answer, but it’s been quite a while since I attended.
Congratulations. Six months is very impressive and I know what it's like to have to cut out your social life to accelerate through school. It is definitely a sacrifice. I completely agree with your review. The facebook groups, reddit and even discord channel were so helpful for my classes.
Congratulations I am so proud of you! Thanks be to GOD that is amazing! I start in 5 days 3/1 on my BSBAMGC with 27 transfers .... GOD willing I will be able to complete it asap !
Thank you! I have been in WGU for too long, between work, kids, and running girl scouts, by the time I sit down to do school work I have no focus. I'm going to try those supplements you recommended!
I’ve been looking at several online schools but, from all the positive things I hear of WGU it’s an easy decision. I’ll be staring this fall for my bachelors in psych. Thanks for your experience and insight!
@@IBK1001 well it is going well but I could not pass the CompTia++ so now I changed to B.S. in Business Administration Information Technology Management. I will try the ++ again but I had to keep going.
@@truthhurts7045Im close to an associates I’m thinking to do cyber security should I continue here for WGU and will it take me long it says 21 months for bachelors or would it be less time? Also is the course good or would you recommend it?
🎉This is amazing 👏🏿 I am at a brick and morter school, and I need to speed up my degree completion. This video is so inspiring! Thank you so much for posting!
I'm starting my bachelors program in cybersecurity, I do here how it can be accelerated, though they say in the IT side of things, usually it takes longer than someone who gets a degree in education or business. Making finishing my degree in 6 months a bit harder, though I am aiming for a year. I have CU's transferred from my associates as well, and I do have some IT background and experience.
so far so good, though not as fast as I had hoped, though I am about to wrap up my 4th course for the term, so I may have time to take a course from term 2 and move it to this one to get ahead a bit. @@626productions
I’m so sorry! Does it have to do with your mentor? Just know you can always request a new one and there is another guy on RUclips that does videos on all of the Cyber Security aspects of WGU his channel is called: Josh Madakor he has the best information on the program in my opinion. Also be sure to take advantage of the lectures they do so you can ask any questions you have!
Great video. Congratulations on your success. Quick question. Could you elaborate on your experience with Proctored exams? I hear that it varies by course and that there's either a final or a paper but I'm trying to determine how many proctored exams there were in the program overall so I can go into it with confidence and understanding. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
So for the 21 classes I took about 11 of them had proctored exams. I don’t know about the other classes since I had transferred in those credits. I hope that helps some! I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful, but I would prepare for at least half or more of the courses to require exams.
I’ve been for about 7 months but only got 15 credits. I haven’t been in school a couple decades too 😂 But I don’t know how you guys do it. One guy wanted to charge me 1200 to show me but it was to weird for me.
Hey everybody goes at their own pace don’t feel the need to accelerate unless you just want to! I just really didn’t want to pay for more than one semester and had a ton of free time since I worked from home and gave up a social life lol. Don’t let anybody scam you because that sounds like a scam he can’t tell you anything I haven’t already in this video. It’s really just about going through the courses as fast as you can to retain the information, taking the PAs, then passing the OAs. I highly recommend the WGU Accelerators Facebook group along with Quizlet and Reddit for all questions. You got this!
@@beccauvain I really appreciate your kind words! I had a feeling he was a scam. Super glad I didn’t fall for it. I am apart of a Facebook group but I don’t think it’s the one you’re talking about so I’ll take a look! Great video! Hope the best for you 💕
WGU is a great college and has some great programs but it is primarily for people that are already working and have a career but want to advance in their field. I don't know how suitable it is for someone fresh out of high school.
I guess it would really depend on the person and how they perceived learning. I feel like they would be fine considering in high school kids are able to take their basic college courses online while juniors and seniors. But if they wanted the full college experience they may want to go to a big university. However, WGU is a lot more affordable so for kids that don’t have the money for the big universities WGU is great!
High school students going into college are more concerned about the college lifestyle. Those kids aren't ready for just straight on work for 6+months with no life
I’m currently applying as a transfer student. Does anyone know about their BSN program in Houston TX, please let me know. I really need the advice if I’m making the right decision.
I’m graduating high school in 2 weeks. My plan is to get my AA (but i’m debating a gap year) and get 10 courses that can be transferred to WGU’s BA in Marketing. So I’d only have 29 (estimated) courses to complete with WGU, and I’d hopefully complete all the courses within a 6-12 month span, while maintaining a part-time job and semi-free social life to spend with my partner and family. I’m going to look into the suppliments you’re taking and take into account your studying tactics. My passion is graphic design, visual arts and visual/advertisment marketing. Do you think I’m taking the right path? I have a lot of anxiety about a lot of my decisions.
I think you are on the right track, but make sure if you planning on transferring to WGU that you get your associates degree first. I only say that because they are a little picky about what credits they will take but if you have an associates degree they have to take those im pretty sure. Honestly a marketing degree is a really good degree to get right now with a lot of variety in what you can do. I’m sure you will do great. You are already thinking ahead and I’m sure you will set yourself up for success. Just make sure with you being so young that you try to volunteer and intern places to get you experience so that way when you graduate you will have some experience on your resume. :)
Honestly, I got lucky. My job originally was not remote. It went permanently remote during the pandemic. I was able to get the job with my associates degree. It was a new hub so they hired about 40 of us. Now for remote jobs I would definitely check the insurance industry and payroll companies they usually always have remote openings and the job stability is there.
Need Advice! I`m 44 years old. I graduated with a Business Degree and have a Masters in Education. I`m teaching for the last 17 yrs, but wanted a career switch into Business/IT Management/Healthcare/Supply Chain career. Should I go straight Competency Based to MBA in IT in WGU or take Competency Fast Track Bachelor`s in Project Management in UMPI or UMASSGlobal? Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks!
Hey there, I’m not sure how to answer this one. I feel like you should ask this question in the WGU Reddit forum and you may have some better answers. Or even the WGU Facebook group! I just don’t want to give you the wrong information. I hope you find the answers you are looking for, you got this!
I think you can actually just use your college transcript but I may be wrong. You can use the website Parchment to get most high school transcripts though!
I’m starting in June and I’m going for supply chain . I’m transferring in 50cu and I’m 50% done with getting the degree. Could I finish this in 6 months?
So they have a program called handshake that you can apply for jobs on but I didn’t have luck with it and just applied for jobs on employer websites. It took me about a month or 2 after graduating to find a job.
I actually had already used up my financial aid from my community college. But I would recommend applying for Fasfa it helped me so much! WGU also has a ton of scholarship opportunities you can apply for as well!
Hey there! No no limit on how many times you can take the pre assessment and it is not proctored. However the answers don’t change so I don’t recommend taking it multiple times as you will just remember the letter for each answer and not remember the material. That’s just what I’ve noticed from my own personal experience.
I don’t think so, but I could be wrong. Typically WGU is just a straight 3.0 because you have to have at least a B to pass any course. Here is a link to their explanation: cm.wgu.edu/t5/WGU-Student-Policy-Handbook/Grading-Scale/ta-p/59
WGUs website says you can transfer up to 90 credits, but you would need to go through with your advisor to see how many they would accept. You can do that before paying for a semester if you want to see.
I would talk to an advisor to make sure you have all of the prerequisites for the MBA because normally it is kind of like a bridge from business bachelors degrees. I think that having both of those would be very beneficial to you though. If anybody is reading this and has more insight feel free to weigh in!
Only the ones that you have to take an objective assessment for! The performance assessments are written and are not proctored. Some courses only require performance assessments.
Honestly I feel like this degree is the best entry level job degree. I feel like you can get a job entry level with this degree, but having previous experience in whatever field you are going into is always a plus! Also check out the type of job you want and see what the requirements for the job may be and see if you can get some additional certifications that may set you apart from other candidates like if there is a software they use specifically or if the job is excel heavy. LinkedIn has a ton of free courses!
Here is a copy of the policy for international students at this time: At the present time, WGU is accepting applications only from individuals living in the United States. (The exceptions are U.S. active-duty military personnel and their families at overseas installations and individuals living in Guam, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.)
Just because it’s online does not mean it is easy. This college is hard. It’s not any different than going to a university except that you don’t have the professors holding your hand at WGU like you do at a big university and you can complete your classes as fast as you like instead of being forced to take a full four years of your life and waste it when you could have used those 4 years finding a job. I have nothing against big universities except that they are money pits and are forcing 18 year olds into a debt they should not even have to consider at their age. Employers don’t care which college you go to they just care that you have a degree to show for it.
So are all the other colleges out there. A bachelors is very much needed to check a box and open doors. The fact that WGU is online vs a more traditional in classroom school means nothing. Its accredited and employers don't care as long as you check the box. I've never heard of a person getting turned down during an interview because they got a degree from a certain college. they care about the DG, "done graduated"
@@beccauvain what they don't tell you is that your credits aren't transferrable to other colleges. I remember looking into this school for my degree and they didn't accept a lot of transfer credits. The credits you earned there also weren't transferrable because of the program type. I looked at this college a few years ago so I wonder if their policies are different now
Are you able to transfer to another college for masters? My understanding is that they dont use gpa just pass fail, so it makes it immposible to transfer. Is this true
Someone actually just posted in the WGU group on Facebook the other day that she was able to transfer and got into Tulanes Masters Degree program. Make sure you get your mentor to write you a letter of recommendation!
I'm really glad to hear this. I'm starting my masters on May 1st and I'm really nervous about it. I didn't think I'd ever be able to afford getting my masters but here we are. Congratulations!!!

Only the ones that you have to take an objective assessment for! The performance assessments are written and are not proctored. Some courses only require performance assessments.
Can students from Indonesia register?
WGU unfortunately only accepts students from the U.S. or U.S. territories/Canada unless in U.S. military active duty.
can you get a job alone with this degree , or you need more stuff to add to your resume
Honestly I feel like this degree is the best entry level job degree.

Also check out the type of job you want and see what the requirements for the job may be and see if you can get some additional certifications that may set you apart from other candidates like if there is a software they use specifically or if the job is excel heavy.

Someone actually just posted in the WGU group on Facebook the other day that she was able to transfer and got into Tulanes Masters Degree program. Make sure you get your mentor to write you a letter of recommendation!
