You probably utilized Sophia for much of your Pierpont credit and WGU has recently been reevaluating their acceptance of Sophia credits. The Teachers College is really weird. I was in it and it's like an entirely different universe from the rest of WGU.
Fair assumption with regard to my Pierpont credit, but no. Only 9 out of my required 60 (and 88 total accepted) credits at Pierpont were from Sophia. Most were from a previously unfinished associates degree from 1999, with the rest being a mix of AP exams from 1996, CLEP exams, and IT certifications. As far as I know w/ WGU, if the BoG degree has been conferred, they simply consider the degree, not the constituent courses. (They can still consider the courses if you send those transcripts/scores in too, of course.)
I'm interested in what you've learned re: WGU recently re-evaluating Sophia. Is that Sophia-specific or ACE altogether?
Current: WGU BS, Cybersecurity and Information Assurance (093/122 credits)
