[Request] College of IT - Bachelor's in Software Development - Unofficial Transcript
#1
Hello, folks! I'm a long time lurker, first-time poster... 

I'd like to make an educated decision with regards to my college career. My end-goal is to get a degree in Software Dev. in 6 months, and as such I want to get as much done before enrolling. Now, unless I'm missing something, WGU will only accept 90 credits. Because I need to finish getting my degree the more cost-effective way, I wonder if I, based on the charts below, am gettings more courses/certs done than I should? In other words, I'm trying to find the "sweet spot" both in terms of cost and time. 

Thanks a lot in advance!

The Google IT support certificate is something that you can theoretically get for about $50 on Coursera. It says it'll take you several months but, realistically, you should only need about a month to go through everything if you're concentrating on that. Someone on this forum was able to go through it in less than a week and get it for free as a result. Not really recommended. I can't tell if you've already gotten that or not.

Have you seen WGU Academy yet? $150/mo. and it has a decent list of courses that will transfer into WGU. If you don't already have the MTA certificates, you they'll cover the cost of one of those exams for you under that fee. Or the CompTIA A+ exam(s). https://academy.wgu.edu/program/it?degree=it From other posts on this forum, you can take as many of those classes as you are able to do so in a month, making them even more cost-effective than SDC or SL themselves.
