Jonathan Whatley Wrote:Correct. Clarification: The 8-credit summer science courses are mostly or all undergraduate full-year basic science sequences, like General Chemistry, Biology, etc. Most or all of these can't be taken for graduate credit, so wouldn't count towards an ALM. There are numerous 4-credit science courses offered in the summer, some of which are available for graduate credit.
You are absolutely correct! Thank you, I had a brain crash

I had to put my grad school plans on hold for now. I got a promotion at work (management now) so I am working much more. Still, I plan to pursue Harvard Extension this year.
And I also got an offer from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, to join their MBA program. So, there's that consider.

Thank you for the in depth review! It definitely helps.
But tell me, how difficult did your daughter find the three pre-requisite courses? They require you to maintain a B+ average, and from all I have heard, the courses can be difficult (but these might be coming from students used to doing C grade work). And what exactly is the pro-seminar course?

She found the initial three courses challenging bu8t mostly manageable. I would say her whole first year was like that, it took time for her to figure out what they expected, it was different from CC. I will add that she seems to have really cracked the code at this point. Her stress about courses is down while her GPA remains stellar. With only 5 courses to go I would say a lot of the "challenge" is gone. Expect a lot of writing, they teach research and writing I think she has taken all of two maybe three exams in the whole program, everything is writing centric.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
