Western Governors University
#1
I received my transcript evaluation from Western Governors University this morning. Looks like they will take 39 of my ITT credits, plus I'll add the Principles of Marketing CLEP and I'm taking Principles of Management soon, so I'll have 6 more credits to add to that. I do have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. WGU is Competency based, so it's pass fail, no grade. What if I want to take my Masters at one of the universities here in Southern California, how will that work? If I have no grade, or credits to transfer but I have a bachelors degree, i'm not sure how that would work out. Can shed some light on this for me?

Thanks

There have been other discussions on that. Dare I say, "most" grad schools won't have a problem. If you've already determined which grad school you'd like to go to, I'd call their admissions office before enrolling at WGU.

I will be going to WGU for my masters this fall and have confirmed that NCU will accept a masters degree from WGU.

Northcentral will accept WGU's degrees because it's open enrollment; it has almost no admissions standards such as minimum GPA. Some schools will not accept WGU degrees for certain programs. I've heard of nurses having issues. However, at WGU, a pass is the equivalent of a "B" or 3.0. So, you can argue that you have at least a 3.0 GPA. If the school is highly competitive where many applicants have close to a 4.0, then you'll have problems.
