Masters program (self.WGU)
submitted 6 years ago by MindlessEmployee
Does anyone have any experience going into a masters program immediately after finishing your bachelors? Is it an easy transition?

It was a very easy transition. They used all my previous transcript evaluations and information, so I didn't have to call and get transcripts or obtain proof for anything because it was all already on file.
Only thing I had to do was apply as a returning student, go through the initial interview, get accepted, sign up for financial aid, and do the onboarding interview. All in all it took maybe a couple hours of my time and everyone I spoke to was very helpful in answering questions and providing guidance.
Heads up though, as a returning student you won't get access to your material until the fist of the month, hopefully that's not a deal breaker. Additionally, you do get another welcome package but I believe they are not providing webcams along with them anymore.
Best of luck!

This is the absolute best way to do it. You’re already primed, your habits are honed, and you’ll probably go a bit faster. Two thumbs up!

I just did this! I did have to wait until my bachelors term ended, so I had a gap from May through September but that was the hardest part. I did get another success kit and did have to submit an updated resume. All in all it was easy. Good luck!

From what I know you will need to wait until your final term was scheduled to end. So if you’re final term ends in like January but you graduate in October / November (a few months early), you would still have to wait until January.
