WGU is pretty straight forward and the undergrad courses can be completed about the same speed as courses at Straighterline or Study.com.
However, it is still recommended that prospective WGU students earn as many credits as possible (which is 90) via ACE recommended providers so when your nephew starts at WGU they only have 30 credits to complete, and that can easily be finished up in a single 6-month term.
One caveat... Shmoop courses are not accepted at WGU, nor are NCCRS recommended credits. So for WGU, it is important to focus on ACE recommended options like CLEP, SL, SDC, etc. Some providers, like Saylor and Study.com, offer both ACE and NCCRS recommended courses, so make sure to focus on the ACE ones.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
