NEED WGU ADVICE - BSB-HR and transfer credits?
#8
jessikalauren Wrote: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?

You can check my signature line for courses WGU accepted from Study.com for my son. He also was going to take Project Management with them, which I confirmed WGU accepts, but he ended up taking it via Sophia because it didn't require a paper. The only thing I can tell you for sure not to do is to take Principles of Management at Study.com - SL's transfers in as 4 credits per WGU requirements, and it's the only one they accept. Also, Advanced Operations Management at Study.com transfers in as Business Statistics - so if you take Business Stats elsewhere or at SL, don't take that one at Study because it's the same course as far as WGU is concerned (although the courses are actually quite different).
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice
