Time limit on cert credit for WGU?

[bjcheung77]

Wait, why would you want to take the certs and transfer them in? WGU should provide you vouchers for taking their similar courses for exams, that's the only reason I recommend WGU is for their IT degrees (or now their Business degrees as they have ACBSP). You should only focus on the Sophia.org courses to get your General Education credits completed, and anything that's transferrable from StraighterLine/Study.com after your Sophia.org courses. SKIP THE TECHNICAL CERTS - WGU PAYS FOR YOU, if you get the certs first, yes you get the credit but it's like double paying for nothing!

Oh, and here are my answers to your questions on this thread, I was answering it and had another tab open for this for some reason, here goes: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ree?page=2

reylok - Anyone have any responses for three of my original questions?

1) Is APU respected? (it seems to be loved by its students)
When I applied to them (and a whole lot of other schools), they were on my list because they seem to be a good school, they had DEAC accreditation and decided to go for Regional Accreditation plus programmatic accreditation for their programs. If you compare them with other unranked schools, they are equally respected or recognized.

2) Are there any cons about APU I should know?
I applied to about 6 or 7 schools before ultimately deciding on TESU a few years ago. The only reason I didn't take them is because of the number of credits you can maximize with transfer credit (ACE). If you are military, they are all the same pricing for the Big 3, essentially $250/credit or APU/Brandman/WGU that uses the competency-based degree option at a set flat term fee.

3) Anyone here go to APU, or get this degree?
Not yet, but their Biology classes are the final courses I need for my BA Biology. I have planned a few as I just need the Upper-Level requirements to be done.
