New Member need assistance with WGU BSIT:SD degree plan - mikepro - 11-19-2019
Hello, I am new here and want to develop a plan for the WGU BSIT Software Development and would love help on building my plan or if others have already done one to possibly share with me. I am open to any and/or all of the options to have the easiest/fastest way to pass each class even if that is to just take the WGU course. I havent had transcript eval done yet but I should have several classes transfer from community college. I have several others but not sure they will transfer or not.So for each course which is the best way to go?
Really appreciate any and all help for this.

Hmm... Basically, you should take up to 90 credits from StraighterLine and Study.com
The only courses you should take at WGU are the NON transferable courses at the bottom of your evaluation.
Just one word of advice, take Study.com for English I & II and the rest at SL.
Courses not available at SL, take them at Study.com - WGU does NOT accept NCCRS.
Here are the transfer guides for StraighterLine:

Here are the transfer guides for Study.com:

I think it's easier to work from this set of transfer guidelines: https://partners.wgu.edu/
Choose Saylor, Study.com and Straighterline. Use whichever one you think is best for each requirement (although I prefer Study.com to SL, and Saylor is the only one that has Critical Thinking).

I would take everything from Study.com. Because of the way courses taken fill in bits of other courses, you want to just stick with them for as much as possible, imo.
I personally did not like SL. Their American History course is especially awful

If you take at least 4 courses through SL you are eligible for a $500 WGU/SL scholarship per term (up to 4 terms = $2000)

Normally that would be great but my company has tuition reimbursement so I would end up paying all the SL money out of my pocket and just saving my company money on the reimbursement unless I can get them to pay for SL.
