Unfortunately, I don't see Sophia listed on WGU's partner page. This means I don't see a transfer guide specific to Sophia. However, this does not mean WGU will refuse your credits. WGU's transcript evaluators were easy to deal with and they accepted multiple Sophia credits from me. You could try speaking with a Transcript Evaluator by emailing transcriptinfo@wgu.edu . Be sure to include which degree you are interested in perusing when you email them.

Thank you. I have emailed the above email address but no response. What other Sophia courses were you able to transfer to WGU?

I would not expect lightning fast responses from them within the hour. Waiting 24 to 48 hours are the turn-around times that I remember and that was as someone who had already started WGU's admissions process.
According to my transfer transcript from December of 2019 here is what transferred from Sophia to WGU:
Sophia English Composition I = WGU English Composition I – C455
Sophia Introduction to Statistics = WGU Introduction to Probability and Statistics – C459
Sophia Art History I = WGU Introduction to Humanities – C100
Sophia Human Biology = WGU Integrated Physical Sciences – C165
Sophia US History I = WGU Survey of United States History – C121
Sophia Introduction to Psychology = WGU Introduction to Psychology – C180
Sophia Microeconomics = WGU Microeconomics – C718
Sophia Macroeconomics = WGU Macroeconomics – C719
Sophia Accounting = WGU Principles of Accounting – VYC1
Sophia Project Management = WGU Project Management – C722

Okay, well in that case, get on the phone with them and see if you can get a faster answer. I am not sure you will be able to get an answer from an Enrollment Counselor/Admissions Advisor, so try to speak with someone in the Transcript Department on the phone.

I just called them. The enrollment team is not familiar with Sophia and the transcript team is offline. I guess the only to find out is when I actually enroll and transfer. Thank you very much for your help.

Most of the time there, it totally depends on the degree you want to get before anyone can answer you.
