WGU BS in Business Management
#1
Hi World!
It's been a long while since I've posted, but I'm back!  Actually, I'm posting today for a friend who recently enrolled in WGU (based off of my recommendation which was based off the information found here on degreeforum).  The goal for my friend is to complete a Bachelor's degree as soon as possible (I'm sure many here understand!!).  Specifically, they have settled on the Business Management degree because of their life experience and general hope that it might be the quickest.  What they are looking to find is maybe a breakdown of harder/easier and slower/faster courses.  Additionally, maybe someone has a successfull course path to take like X101 then X204 then...

The assumption is that they will need to complete MOST of the courses through WGU.  I know that there are other ways to get the credit outside and transfer in (before joining WGU), BUT this simply isn't the best plan for them (for a number of reasons).  It's better for them to complete the courses in-house.

Why am I asking instead of sending them here?  Honestly, it is because the idea and steps toward beginning their degree is overwhelming for them.  I'm trying to bring them along with baby steps.  I've already suggested coming here for insight and it's just a little too much at the moment.  I'm sure that once they have two or three classes under their belt, they will jump in with the rest of us.

Anyway, ANY insight that you might be able to provide in reference to the BS in Business Management degree from WGU would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Welcome to the board, great intro post with some basic details, but it's missing the important requested info from the addendum and template. Info such as your age, budget, commitments, previous credits, state you reside in, study habits, etc, are missing.  

Without this full overview or picture of your scenario, my recommendation and suggestion for the last little while have been the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience...

There are various ways to get the balanced trifecta, WGU is one option, but there are others.  Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Just wondering, why does the prospective student want to take a majority of the classes at WGU instead of transferring them in?
