Maximize Pell Grant by changing Majors

[ivythrowaway]

I already asked WGU this question. Which is effectively you "double majoring" there. The answer was basically no. You can even ask their financial aid. You do one program at a time. You can't transfer in anything after starting a program (see my 'Bad Vibes about WGU' post). I thought I was clever planning the following edu hack: taking all the courses except one required in two programs at WGU and then transferring it in graduating in both programs. Nope, they have all the angles covered there.

Your best bet, start a program in Fall and Spring separately that has lax residency requirements and allows for post-enrollment transfer credits to be transferred (most except WGU allow this I find). Someone here posted the General Studies program at Eastern Illinois Uni with the 20 credit minimum. You have options.
