WGU credits, Study.com and Sophia

Depending on how fast you can move through the courses, you may wind up with significant free time before you're allowed to take your next SDC exam. In that time, you can work on the Sophia courses. Sophia should definitely be used for as many credits as you can, though.

Thank you so much, very useful advice.

I'm looking to transfer as many credits as possible to WGU BS Cloud Computing program.

I'm wrapping up all of the IT certs that are transferrable (CompTIA, ITIL, etc.) and then want to move on to Study.com or Sophia. WGU has a nice Partners site that maps their courses to the ones on these sites. Should I start on Sophia to get the first batch (~30) of credits and then move to Study.com for the remaining 20 or so? People on here seem to like Sophia better and it's less expensive. I'm assuming I can bring all three sources of credit into WGU enrollment.

Thanks in advance!

Yup, this is a good plan.  Just create a spreadsheet with all courses you're required to take, then color code it with the providers you're going to take, some courses can't be transferred in and some don't have equivalents - these you complete at WGU.  So, just view the partners.wgu.edu and go crazy with the spreadsheet until you max out the 90 credits if possible (you should be close).  I would go from Sophia and move up to Study.com as you would get the bulk of what you need from them and any remaining ones from Study.com - that would be my preference, you can change it around if needed.

Cheers, did not know about the 90 credit max!
Purdue Global, BS IT 

Method:
  • Sophia (13 courses) 
  • Study.com (5 courses
  • W3Schools (PHP Certification)
  • Purdue Global ExcelTrack (2 terms)
