My WGU Experience - BSci-NOS

[justdavey]

Hello,

Thought I'd document my own journey through WGU.  To date, nothing but good things to say, but I like to think threads like these were the reason I was prepared and had the right questions to ask and the process down pat.  Thanks to everyone who has shared to date.

My journey started last August, a friend of mine started at Capella University and I had looked into going there to get a bachelor's degree.  In reading the boards here and at techexams I found out about Western Governors University and all the credits that could transfer into the degree. 

I'm in Canada so I had to get an external firm to send WGU a course equivalency for some previous university classes I had taken.  
I have IT related certifications: ITIL Foundation,CCNA R&S, CCNP, CCDA, PMP, CISSP, CISM
Thank goodness I found this board and was able to finish off Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra and Pre-Calculus before ALEK's ACE accreditation went away.
I did classes at Straighterline:Intro to Religion, General Biology, General Physics, Information Technology Fundamentals, Organizational Behaviour.
To accelerate and knock off some IT related clases I did the following certs before enrolling: A+, CIW Web Found Associate, CIW Database Design Specialist, Linux Essentials, Cloud Essentials 

In all I imported 84 CUs and was left with the following classes to complete:
Critical Thinking and Logic
Introduction to Communication
Natural Science Lab
English Composition I
English Composition II
Scripting and Programming Foundations
Spreadsheets
Principles of Management
Technical Communication
Designing Customized Security
Emerging Technologies
IT Capstone

Almost one month in and have completed 11 CUs.  If all goes well I'll complete English Composition II this week and go onto the more technical focused classes.  My student mentor has been great and the different class instructors I've interacted with have been awesome to help out on some of the finer points of what's being asked for in the rubric.  Looking forward to see what others experiences have been as well and share more information!
