I will be honest, there is no way I would waste my time with WGU when you have that many credits available to transfer.
I can see how it looks bad at face value, although the amount of credit granted for previously completed coursework is only one decision point among many. Personally, I wouldn't mind completing some extra Sophia and Study.com courses to get up to the 83 credits max transfer to the WGU BSBAITM. WGU has unlimited attempts at papers, and they tell you what needs to be fixed every time a paper is returned. Contrast that to constant due dates for 12 weeks at TESU and one attempt at a final draft at UMPI that has to earn a B grade or higher. I've completed all three degrees, and I prefer the papers at WGU by far. However, I'm also good at taking tests, which some people really want to avoid, so it's generally easier for me to do courses with Sophia, Study.com, and WGU than it is for some others. This is all to say that choosing a school and degree should always take into account all the factors, such as cost, time, preferences for course type and format, and curriculum, to find the best fit for the individual student.
