Pierpont to WGU Accelerated IT
#1
Hello! 

This is my second time making a post like this, the below will be adjusted accordingly.

Your Location: California, USA
Your Age: 34
What kind of degree do you want?: Information Technology
Budget: No budget but would still like to spend as little as possible or close to it.
Commitments: My spouse and dog, I work part time from home.
Dedicated time to study: My 3 day work at home job is very slow-paced. I have as much time as needed to study during those 3 days and limited hours at night/weekends.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No.

Current Regional Accredited Credits:
Folsom Lake Community College
ANTH 310 Cultural Anthropology, 3 Units, C Grade

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Sophia Credits: 6
Intro to IT, 3, 93%
Intro to Web Development, 3, 96%

Any certifications or military experience?
Coursera:
Google Project Management Professional Certificate
Google IT Support Professional Certificate - In progress

I've been wanting to do this for a long time and I thought I was finally ready and life threw me a major curveball but that has since been resolved. I'm ready to try again, I managed to complete 2 courses on Sophia and a certificate on Coursera. I'm halfway done with the Google IT Support Certificate and I'm trying to make my way through it quickly, before the CA State Library Program is over. I plan on working my way through what I can on Coursera before moving back over to Sophia and starting some Gen Eds.

I've made a degree plan, linked below, any feedback is greatly welcomed. I had a couple of questions noted in the comments. I've done a large amount of research and couldn't find the answers to all my questions. I originally made this plan back in January but have since adjusted it. Any help is much appreciated.

I've linked your previous thread to this one, maybe I should have merged it, anyways... Your best bet right now is to get up to 90+ credits and graduate from Pierpont, use all the credits you have sent to Pierpont and send those to WGU. You can wait for graduation form Pierpont or can start WGU first, I think it really depends on the degree program (if they take 'block' transfers or not, as I think I recall people having a more favorable transfer if they've got the AAS conferred first). It won't really matter as you're going to max that transfer by creating a spreadsheet with the WGU requirements and use partners.wgu.edu to map your degree, find mappings for Sophia.org, Study.com, etc, link us to that viewable (not editable) file and we'll recommend any changes if needed...
