Hey can anyone help out a new guy?
#6
Back on point to the question -- it is true that WGU will not allow any additional credits after you enroll and lock in your plan. You should rack up your credits before you finalize enrollment. You won't need an Associates to start with them, but you will need some prior credits (or some industry cert). Look into their Straighterline scholarship. The best part of WGU is the industry certs that are rolled in with tuition, as part of your degree plan. In the IT world, in general, experience is king, certs are next, and the degree under that.

As stated above though, you really should make sure IT is something you want to do that will actually interest you. It's not a field to go into just because it's hot. You're not going to just go through WGU (or any school), finish a degree, and then suddenly have an aptitude (or enjoyment) of the field.
