Sanity Check - WGU BSITM

[echondo]

If you want to learn how to hack the matrix, then you found a home here on DegreeForum.

You seem motivated, and your plan looks solid.

It looks like are on track to start WGU between Nov-Jan if you can keep the pace up.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks! I do plan on starting WGU as soon as I am done with anything outside. Jan/Feb was my target window at the latest to start.

And thank you for the link, I couldn't find the wiki's degree plan when I first looked(though I didn't look that hard to be honest haha).

Welcome!

It looks like you're making good progress toward BSBAITM. You may want to consider CLEP or WGU for some of the remaining courses. For CLEP, College Composition (one test to knock out Comp I & II) and Intro to Sociology have high pass rates, and you can take them for free through Modern States. Intro to Comms may be easiest/fastest at WGU now.

The suggestion to switch to the accelerated BSIT/MSITM track is intriguing this early in the process, but note that they are fairly different: https://www.wgu.edu/resources/degree-com...baitm.html
However, if you do decide to switch, there are some classes that are much easier at WGU, such as Natural Science Lab and Scripting and Programming Foundations.

Thanks for the info! I am not 100% sold on doing English at Sophia, so I may end up doing those outside of it. Good tip on CLEP, didn't think of it for the English requirements.

BSIT/MSITM is indeed interesting, but I am not particularly fond of doing certifications that are outside my current career path. I am mostly a Linux administrator, so the A+ and LPI certs are not worth it to me. I guess I am looking for more of a focused/direct path and I see the certs as a "monkey wrench" being thrown at me. The certs don't look particularly hard at all, but seems way more generalized than what I would like.
