My son completed about 45 credits at SL and was able to get a $200 tuition discount at WGU, then he earned a $2,000 scholarship due to taking courses via SL. I highly recommend knocking out everything you can before enrolling - some courses that you can complete very easily and quickly via SL are apparently beasts at WGU - particularly their Intro to Business course, which shocked me, as well as the first science requirement and a few others. Note - SL does not include Environmental Science in the course transfer list, but it DOES transfer in for Integrated Natural Sciences. And it's a very easy class.
This is exactly what I needed, thank you! I'm spending the time and effort (and money) already on these CLEP/DSST exams and it's working really well for me, so I'm wondering if I should keep doing that because it's a better option than WGU. WGU is also self-paced so I'm trying to compare apples with apples here.
I have not explored Straighterline yet because the school I'm at now doesn't accept them, and CLEP/DSST was working just fine for me. Maybe I should revisit since I'm transferring to WGU? I went through a free five-day trial with Study.com and really liked the videos I watched, does WGU issue credit for these or are they just a good study resource?
