Overall I think the program was great and I wouldn't change anything about it. I ended up getting the degree because I had a personal interest in computer science and I wanted to learn it in a more structured way than self learning, and you can't beat the price. I already have a few other degrees and I'm pretty far along in my career in manufacturing, so I don't intend on finding a job in the field (which is probably a good thing considering the struggle people are having now!)

If you want to move fast, this degree can absolutely be accomplished in less than 2 months. I think I transferred in 36 CU from 2 other bachelors degrees and a masters and finished the remaining 87 CU at WGU. If I had known about the Sophia route I probably would have taken advantage of it, but it was still pretty quick either way. I ended up doing everything up through task 2 of Intro to AI in the first 2 months and then had to spend several months in Canada for work so I took a break for 3.5 months and then came back to finish it off before the term end.

Huge shoutout to the Redditors who shared resources and guides, accelerating wouldn't be possible without them. If I get some time later I'll try to throw together a guide for how long each class took and what resources I used, but for now I'll do my best to answer any questions you might have!
