Do you have to be super smart to finish WGU? What can you do to eliminate any doubts

Is the content of courses easier, or the overall program easier, compared to regular colleges?

I was going to do the max number of transfer credits from Sophia, Study.com, certifications like those from CompTIA, etc. and would only need to do a few courses at WGU, which seems doable in one semester that's 6 months long.

First, WGU has 6-mo terms, not semesters.  Just so you have the terminology correct.

Second, WGU requires very few Gen Eds, which can be good or bad depending on what credits you have to bring in.  For someone with lots of credits in GE's, it can be disheartening to "lose" a bunch of credit.  But for someone starting from scratch, it can be quite nice to only have 25% of your degree be GE.

Third, WGU is very focused on the major.  So, if you've been working in IT for 20 years, and need a degree for some reason, a degree where 75% of your courses are based on info you may already be very familiar with it going to be an "easier" degree than one at a school where maybe 50% of your degree is on the major.  This does not mean that WGU is an "easy" school; it just means that what you've spent the last 20 years learning is what the degree is looking for, and your chances for success are much higher.
