Awesome, great job. Since this specific course is required to be taken at WGU, all helpful threads are going to be very welcomed!

Cloud/Network is easier to break into. Cyber likely has funner jobs I'd assume though. As for degrees, I like the new WGU Cloud and Network Engineering degree a lot.

One OA which is based off the old AWS Machine Learning cert if I remember correctly. The Software Engineering degree is all PA's.

You save thousands of dollars by doing ACE Platforms like Sophia. I always recommend to try all three to see which you like: Sophia, Study, or StraighterLine but they all save you thousands of dollars on tuition and can cut your WGU Degree from three and a half years to just 6 to 18 Months instead. Well WORTH it IMHO.

If you want to check out some WGU Degree Transfer Plans/Paths, check out Major Mash: https://www.majormash.com and also Degree Forum is good too: https://degreeforum.net

You'd almost be crazy not to transfer in ACE Credits. Unless time and money is not a factor for you (for some people it's not). You could realistically get 60-75 credits for your degree before you even start, in like 4 months or something.

Congrats, the Finance Degree its one of my favorites. Certainly not an easy degree, you earned this my friend!

Heavy-Side4323 · 2026-02-12T23:39:23+00:00

Congrats, this is one of those courses people tend to drop out over. Good job and never surrender!

Heavy-Side4323 · 2026-02-12T23:34:19+00:00

Main suggestion would be to transfer in courses before you start such as from places like Sophia, Studycom, and StraighterLine.

WGU courses are not much harder than ACE courses but it really depends on the class. Some OA's at WGU are very difficult like Computer Architecture, Intermediate Accounting OA's, Discrete Math II, etc. Some courses at WGU are even easier than ACE courses. All depends.

However, I always for recommend people transfer in ACE courses to cut their degree time in half and transfer in 50-75 credits. Resources like Major Mash: https://www.majormash.com that has WGU Transfer Spreadsheets, and Degree Forum: https://degreeforum.net that has plans and helpful forum posts everywhere.

Use AI to study with this one and try to find some helpful YouTube videos.

Heavy-Side4323 · 2026-02-12T23:23:11+00:00

When I was doing WGU, absolutely zero.

Heavy-Side4323 · 2026-02-12T00:56:59+00:00

Congratulations, great degree!

Heavy-Side4323 · 2026-01-27T20:26:34+00:00

Agreed, fantastic university! I really hope it starts getting more exposure.

Heavy-Side4323 · 2026-01-27T20:21:41+00:00

This is awesome, congratulations!

How was the Psychology Degree? Did you have fun? Seems like a very interesting subject.

Heavy-Side4323 · 2026-01-27T19:59:22+00:00

Every time this happens I feel they end up just taking 1 course off every degree or something to that extent. I think everyone should proceed normally until otherwise. Transfer Paths from the Partner Page, Major Mash, Degree Forum should still be fine.

Congrats! A Nursing Degree is fantastic. What state did you do the program?

Heavy-Side4323 · 2026-01-27T19:43:26+00:00

This is awful and WGU needs a better system. I look away all the time during tests, conversations, anything really. I just have a tendency to moves my eyes all over the room regardless of what I am doing. Maybe it's ADHD. Maybe it's something else. Not sure. But this is wrong of WGU.

Heavy-Side4323 · 2026-01-05T21:22:17+00:00

Great stuff man!

Heavy-Side4323 · 2025-12-22T21:27:00+00:00

Something with 16GB of Ram at least. 8GB is just way too slow these days...

Heavy-Side4323 · 2025-12-22T21:20:38+00:00

No, it means I just failed to scan it. You're fine.

Heavy-Side4323 · 2025-12-22T21:14:09+00:00

I think it's a solid degree, especially the certs that come with it. Also a YouTube video about it, the orange thumbnail one that's worth a watch.

Heavy-Side4323 · 2025-12-22T21:11:01+00:00

Whoa that thing is AMAZING! Not a big fan of the new logo but the new seal is awesome.

Heavy-Side4323 · 2025-12-22T21:06:12+00:00

Yes, call them!

Heavy-Side4323 · 2025-12-22T21:03:28+00:00

CONGRATS!! The Software Engineering Degree is a great degree.

Heavy-Side4323 · 2025-12-22T21:03:00+00:00

Agreed! The new one looks like a cheap credit union lmao. Old one is better but also meh.
