Hi, exactly one month ago I made this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Total-noob
After considering all of the wonderful and detailed advice that I received, I applied to Pierpont and began taking as many Sophia classes as a I could, as fast as I could. Here is an updated list of the credits I now have:
(Mesa Community College in 2016/2017) - 24
COMS135 - Interpersonal Communication 3
ANTH103 - Intro to Cultural Anthropology 3
CISC150 - Intro to Computer/Info Science 3
HIST109 - History of the United States I 3
POLI102 - The American Political System 3
ENGL101 - Reading and Composition 3
PERG120 - College Success 3
PHIL102A - Intro to Philosophy: Reality/Knowledge 3
(Sophia all in the last 30 days) - 42
CS1001 - Intro to Information Technology 3
CS1005 - Intro to Web Development 3
PHIL1002 - Intro to Ethics 3
VisComm1001 - Visual Communications 3
ENVS1001 - Environmental Science 3
CA1001 - College Algebra 3
ARTHIST1001 - Art History I 3
ARTHIST1002 - Art History II 3
PHIL1005 - Critical Thinking 3
STAT1001 - Intro to Statistics 3
PM1001 - Project Management 3
PSYC1010 - Intro to Psychology 3
BUS1013 - Principles of Management 3
ConRes1000 - Essentials of Managing Conflict 1
CS1003 - IT Career Exploration 1
BUS1200 - Developing Effective Teams 1
(Certs)
CompTIA A+
Google IT Support Professional from Coursera
Here is my spreadsheet so far: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...edit#gid=0
Come August 4th, I will graduate from Pierpont, earning the A.A.S. BoG with an emphasis in Information Systems. After this, I am thinking the best path for me is to apply to WGU and transfer as many credits possible to reach the 75% mark for the BS in IT. If anyone else here has done this path (Pierpont to WGU), can you tell me how the AAS transfers over? I see that there are two Composition classes required at WGU, but I only have credits that will satisfy one of them, does this mean I have to take English II on Sophia, or will the AAS let me skip all of it? I haven't been very successful in finding info specific to Pierpont transfers into WGU and was hoping someone could clarify what exactly will transfer over. I was also wondering if I can pick and choose what transfers, if I have more than 90 credits worth of courses completed, can I choose which ones to send over to make sure I don't pass the 75% limit on accident? I am also curious if anyone knows the easiest/hardest classes at WGU, so I know which to take there and which to do with Sophia/other programs.
I would preferably want to save the CompTIA cert classes (net+, sec+, etc) to take at WGU, and just study hard before applying so I can easily speedrun those classes and go straight to the actual cert exam. My goal is to complete the WGU BSIT in one term by maxing out my credits beforehand, and then learning the material for the last handful of classes the best I can before actually enrolling.
Any other information you guys can provide I would really appreciate it. For those of you that have gone the same/similar path as I am planning, I would love to hear your experience and any additional insights that might be useful!
Thanks everyone
