"How I Got a Computer Science Degree in 3 Months for Less Than $5000"

This person could have gotten a TESU degree in 3 months as well. 

Though with TESU, he would have had to wait several extra months before receiving the diploma.

Some key notes:
1. He spent around 40hrs per week studying.
2. He started with some credits (less 5 courses)
3. In some courses, he was slower than optimal speed, but overall he was fast in doing courses.

I noticed he said he took Calculus in college, yet it still took 60+ hours to do at study.com. CLEP or Sophia would have been faster than doing College comp at WGU. I did the CLEP in 1/2 the time he took.

Overall though pretty impressive.

He could probably have done a few things easier/faster/cheaper (all GE's via Sophia instead of SDC for instance), but this is a good breakdown.

I thought international students weren't allowed at WGU?

They allow Canada.

They allow SOME Canadians, not all.

Technically, it should be how the last remaining credits (or whatever was left after transfer credit) were completed in 3 months for about $5K. The individual transferred credit from a Quebec CEGEP, which is essentially a ladder from 11th grade. If the individual wanted to complete a Bachelors, it would take them 2 years at a regular university and the cost would be significantly more.

They accept Canadians who live nearby their testing centers. They have few testing centers in Canada.
