Questions about WGU - suzycupcake - 03-08-2019
Hi all,
I was looking at WGU on YouTube the other night and it all sounds pretty interesting but I have a lot of questions.
What alternative credits so they take?
I heard that you can't transfer any other credits in once you start - is this true?
What is their relationship with SL?
Anyt other questions I should be asking myself?

SL has a good relationship with WGU. They even have a button you can use to transfer your credits. Keep in mind tho, you cannot transfer anything into WGU once you're enrolled.

Thank you for confirming about the transfers once you are enrolled!

What degree are you looking at? We just enrolled and I can send you my timeline of what they accepted.

Thank you! Either Marketing Management or Business Management. Would love to have the option of something in Communications but I don't see it.

WGU only has Business, IT, Nursing & Teaching degrees - so nothing like Communications. If you want that, you'll have to go to one of the Big 3, and you'll probably have to take some online courses somewhere to bring them in.
