WGU Computer Science Degree - 2 MONTH SPEED RUN | Most Efficient Online CS Degree

🔒 Hands-On Cybersecurity Course + INTERNSHIP 🔒

🖥 Break into IT in ~3 Months with my Hands-On Practical Course! 🖥

In this video, I talk about the preparation I made and the strategy I used to be able to graduate with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from WGU in exactly 2 months. From the time I registered to the time I graduated was exactly 2 months, however a lot of preparation work went into being able to do this, and I'll talk about this in this video.

Intro
Hey all, welcome to my channel. If you're new, I do content on IT/cyber, education, and general career advice
In today's video, I'm going to be reviewing the BSCS from WGU and giving some tips on how to graduate quickly
I know a lot of people are scared of CS degrees because of the math, but there is a method that makes this program really manageable that I'm gonna talk about
What it goes into (Hook)
I graduated in 2 months (from the time I started class)
I don't really expect anyone to be able to go this fast, but I will talk about some things that you can do to greatly decrease the time it takes you to graduate.
I've also created these other videos that explain how to pass the hardest classes in this degree (links in the description)
Average Tech Worker: 6 months
New Person: 12 Months
I'll also put a link in the description of the entire course list
Brian StClair
Give some strategies that you can use to finish this program within 6 months.

🖥 Break into IT in ~3 Months with my Hands-On Practical Course! 🖥

[ShaneHummus]

This is legit! I will definitely mention this on my channel at some point

[fuadahmed]

Josh is that really smart guy that jus stays humble 😂😂 I respect that

[wongstephen]

Thanks, @JoshMadakor. I just picked up the BSCS degree in about 60 days (I took it as a personal challenge when you mentioned 2 months). Your breakdown of WGU was motivational and helped guide me through the classes.

[rln_tlesssun]

I’ve been really struggling with this and having your breakdowns have encouraged me to go for my degree. I’ve been working in a service desk role for a few years and got stuck in a rut. Thank you for taking the time to put this information out there and even going as far as providing links to your spreadsheets. You are bettering lives one video at a time!

[meejmuas]

Be careful with transferring in too many credits. If you do more than 75% of the WGU program, they cant enroll you into that program. You NEED to do at least 25% of the total credits of the program at WGU

[richmond_grichmond]

Awesome information presented, selling me on finally getting my BS in Computer Science! Thanks Josh, for all of your hard work and presenting this information!!

[neighborhood_neil]

Hey Josh, I'm just now discovering your content and I'm excited to learn as much as possible from your suggestions. I'm currenly a Sr. Cyber Engineer with an Associates in Science and I'm beginning my BS in CS this month with WGU (I'm unsure how I achieved such an amazing role without a ridiculous amount of experience... lucky me?). I will keep you updated on my progress in your other videos and suggest you for others in my field pursuing their BS degree. Thanks for the clear and concise recommendations keep up the great content!

[jeanberrios]

What i was waiting for! Thank you Josh. Your changing lives through this channel!

[PROTAGONIST_]

THANKS FOR THE STRATEGY. THIS MIGHT END UP SAVING ME OVER 30k. I was about to attend a regular 4 year University.

[xavierxavier]

I am very glad I found this channel. I just want to get through my computer science degree as fast as possible. I finished my freshman year of computer science at my in-person university, but it's way less efficient than WGU and I hate waking up at like 7am and wasting time traveling between classes and my dorm. I've also been working in web development part-time for a while because I like money. Now I'm about to speedrun this degree.

[curlyhairedgypsy]

WOW THIS IS THANK YOU! I was about to spend $5k a semester @ community college for 12 Credits... I am amazed that there are other options available!

[loispua]

You motivated me to go back to college Josh! Thank you for everything you posted previously!

[LovingSoul]

As soon as I found out about this school, this was exactly what I was intending to do. This video is exactly what I was looking for! So helpful! Thanks so much for sharing the info! I'm so excited!

[nuckingfuts]

Thank you!! I was about to start my second WGU degree and you will have saved me to much time, money and effort!!

[WisemanxSmash]

I think it's important to note that when you are transferring in credits for an IT-related course the degree/courses need to be within 5 years of the transcript evaluation. I tried transferring a Computer Networking degree I got 6 years ago and they didn't accept any of the IT-related courses in my program.

[notahacker]

You’re the man! I decided I’m going to start at wgu for my bachelors in cyber security. I’m excited!

[edwardseverinsen]

I have my education benefits from the military. I want to use them to get a good paying job, but I've been programming since I was 11, started C++ when I was 14 and have done small projects myself for years. Mainly video game mods via DLL injectors. I think my experience would help me blast through a lot of the main course material. It is a very real prospect that I could have a bachelors in CS done in a year or so. Hmm...

You've given me a lot to think about. Thanks!

[NNNedlog]

Yay...I made it here. I feel so fortunate I found your channel

[JJSmalls]

I'm glad I stumbled on this. I already have a degree with a minor in CS, but I've been having a tough time getting a job because I never took algorithms or discrete math in college. I feel like I'm getting passed over just because I don't have a CS degree specifically. That, and my technical interview skills are in the gutter.

I already applied for the BS CS program, eagerly waiting to see what classes I have left to take and will knock out some of them via the methods you mentioned before hand.

I feel like not having a CS degree is gate keeping me right now.
