Going back to school...

[Smgill2282]

So thanks to a lot of the topics on here I am doing online classes because my profession isnt likely to make it to my retirement. I have spent a lot of time going over all of the options and came up with a plan. I would like to hear from anyone who has gotten the BS in IT at WGU. So far I have finished 66 credits on Sophia, one at ASU, just got notification of graduation with the BOG from Pierpont. I have 5 more classes to take at Sophia that will transfer. Then I will sign up over at Study.com where I will have 4 more classes to take. I am also taking the advanced excel class at ASU in the hopes that it will satisfy the spreadsheets class at WGU. All that said it leaves me with 11 classes and 38 hours to take at WGU. While I cant skip the capstone I was wondering where I could possibly knock out a class or two to get that as close to 30 as possible. So does anyone know if classes at ASU would satisfy any of these? Clep? Or is this a possible to finish these within the 6 month period. I work a lot of hours(like 60 a week), but am motivated to finish this as I have spent 8 weeks for the first 67 credits. TIA

Looking for ways to convert a couple of these if possible.
Ethics in Technology- 3 credits
Finite Math- 4 credits
Business of IT- Applications- 4 credits
Web Development Application- 6 credits
Linux Foundations- 3 credits
User Interface Design- 4 credits
Emerging Technology- 2 credits
Networks- 4 credits
Network and Security Applications- 4 credits
IT Applications- 4 credits
Capstone- 4 Credits

You can sign up for free till 10/31 for TADA and get the Google UX design cert

You can get other certs that will cost you money but it's worth it if you want to lower your stress when you start WGU and give yourself a good chance to finish in 6 months.

Based on how fast you got through your first 67cr, I would bet that you have a 75%+ chance of completing WGU in 6 months. 

Ethics in Technology
Emerging Technology
Spreadsheets

These courses I wouldn't worry about as you can probably pass them in a couple of days.

Network and Security - Applications which is CompTIA Security+ will probably be the hardest cert that may take 2-4 weeks.

One thing you can do for example is prestudy for certs so that when you start WGU you are ready to take the final exam for a cert such as CompTIA Network+. I wouldn't go overboard pre studying for more than 1 or 2 certs.

That's great, it's good helping others get started as well, since you're on the journey, have them come along with the ride would be like carpooling...  UPS is a great option to get cheap/free education with tuition assistance or reimbursement.  You can do a term for the BSBA and another term with them for the BSIT as that would be two 6 month terms, practically free with the UPS tuition!  You should have created added the addendum and template to your post or thread, so we can help you further... If you didn't know already, TESU and UPS (Amazon, etc) are partners for learning, they also have an option for a freebie degree as well!

Unfortunately when you go full time at UPS the tuition help stops. The tuition reimbursement is only for part time employees and management. I drive semi trucks and while looking at the future see that I am in a field that will cease to exist probably before the end of my career. So I have a plan to set myself up for a better future, hopefully one that doesnt include working 60 hours a week overnights...

However, I just went and looked and I am going to look into it further because I have never seen that. I know my wife used the Union Plus to get a free associates degree. But I had never heard of a partnership with TESU and UPS
