Great vid, currently grinding classes through Sophia and study👍

[jamey-plez]

Just signed up for study and hope to get most of this degree transferred in!

[StringCypher]

Thank you for taking the time to make this.

I’d love for one day someone to make a similar video but geared toward those who don’t transfer in most of the degree. In my own case, I can’t afford SDC and a large chunk of my degree program is paid for by Pell grants. I’m married with 4 kids and a full time job that requires overtime. I transferred in all the general education courses and calc 1 from Sophia but all classes geared toward CS I’ll be taking at WGU. My start date is April 1st of this year and orientation just unlocked for myself and other April starters today.

I’m sure there are others in the same boat as I am in one way or another, so it’d be refreshing to watch a video on breaking down classes taken at WGU like Scripting/programming, DM1, and the like.

Congratulations to all those who can graduate in a single term, I’m so happy for you and good luck in your future careers!

Appreciate the work you've been putting in with these videos Alex!

I'm doing this degree right now and Discrete Math II is rough.

[christophermoses]

Thanks for this video. I’m saving it to use later. No computer programming experience but I just learned about college hacks and found WGU. So absorbing what I can. Beginning some easy coding tutorials and getting my math up to speed. I’ve done intro to programming before, which was learning Java and enjoyed that. Looking to get into something new besides my labor intensive job.

[kelzo]

starting my journey into computer science soon and this video has been a great start. i appreciate all the information. can’t wait to look back on this when once i have my degree.

[MrArod]

On the discord its recommended to start with every course you can take at sophia except maybe 1 then most that are left at SDC that can be transferred in. Is there a reason your spreadsheet has almost all SDC? Is it just because that is where you took the courses?

[jamest]

Should I do this degree or Software Engineering? The Software Engineering looks more applicable to a Software Engineering job..

[cryptocrazeee]

Just failed Discrete math 1 lol going to retake final

[cryMoreLoL]

Did you take the courses at WGU for the certifications (JAVA, ITIT, CompTIA) or did you go to the vendor directly and obtain there? Is it better/faster vs WGU and does it cost more? Thanks.

[alphasuperior]

Not to brag. I use do Calculus in my head no kidding. So, I guess Computer Science should be easy as far as what you said.

[mandov]

Can you do a review of the wgu finance degree?

[Boomchickapow]

Hey Alex. Great vid. Thanks for making it.

Any recommendations of material to pre study to get a good foundation before tackling the classes at WGU ?

I see this is a recommended tactic.

[mikepowell]

Doing the SE degree, are you making an updated version soon?

[ClscBlckTy]

What are your thoughts on getting both degrees? Can you comment on how the class structure works at WGU?

Is it true that you can only take one class at a time?

I’m interested in cloud knowledge, but not sure about a career path at this point. I’ve done a swe internship and learned BA skills, but data analytics seems interesting.

Thanks for your video!

Prior to this how experienced were you in programming? Ive taken an assembly language class and intro to java course at a local community college last year and got a B in both. But the idea of somehow learning the material and passing these classes in a matter of days - a week is just unbelievable for me personally. Im not going to entertain the thought of me getting a bachelors in comp sci in 6 month, i mean best case scenario for me I get it in less than 2 years.

But if you didnt have much experience in the field prior to this then it puts it in a whole new light of what can be achievable. But regardless thank you for the video, it has helped me a lot.

[irishmoron]

I am planning to apply for a MBA program in roughly 2 years and would like to get a second bachelors or even masters in tech while I have some time. Would you recommend the data analytics bachelors and masters for this application… or would you still really recommend trying to complete the BS in CS instead? I am fairly experienced with computer hardware, but not software or programming so I am worried the CS degree could be quite challenging. Also, I really appreciate the walkthrough videos!

Thank you for sharing this!
Can I get a cybersecurity job if I have a degree in computer science from wgu ?

[shortygordy]

Hi Alex! My Associates Degree transffered in two classes from the WGU portion: Ethics in Technology and Technical Communication. Which two ACE classes would you recommend I take at WGU instead, to fulfill the 32 credit requirement?
