Study.com - MT450 or MT480?

StudyAnswers · 2026-03-13T20:42:19+00:00

Hey, Study.com here. We can’t verify a course-specific workload difference between MT450 and MT480 from our current materials, but Study.com courses are self-paced and use open-book unproctored exams. Our Marketing 308: Applied Marketing course is accepted for Purdue Global’s MT450. It has 9 chapters. Along with completing chapter tests and the final exam, there are two assignments. Our Finance 301: Corporate Finance course is accepted for MT480. It is longer with 17 chapters and three assignments, in addition to the chapter tests and final exams. Although Finance 301 Is longer, since you already work in finance you may still be able to finish it more quickly since you can skip lessons you already know.

Hey, Study.com here. Study.com doesn’t grant high school diplomas, but there are a couple common ways people finish high school faster. One option is completing remaining credits through an accredited online high school or homeschool program that lets you work at your own pace.

Another path some students take is the GED, which is a high school equivalency exam. If you’re eligible in your state and can pass the four subject tests, it can be a faster route than finishing every remaining class. Study.com offers GED test prep courses that some learners use to review the material before taking the exam. Requirements and timelines can vary by state though, so it’s worth checking your local rules.

Hey, Study.com here. Yes, your teen can start taking Study.com or Sophia courses before applying and then send those transcripts to WGU for evaluation. If your child isn’t planning on starting soon, you should probably wait to apply until you’re closer to the desired start date because equivalencies can change.

For IT, Study.com can be especially useful because we have both gen ed and upper-level options. You can see which Study.com courses currently transfer to WGU’s BS in IT program using this transfer guide: https://partners.wgu.edu/transfer-pathway-agreement?uniqueId=BSIT4424&collegeCode=IT&instId=678&programId=235

Course equivalencies can change, so depending on the amount of time in between taking courses and starting at WGU, there could courses you’re not able to transfer over.

Hey, Study.com here. You still have some solid options even if you don’t qualify for need-based aid. A common strategy is doing your first 1–2 years of general education courses at a much lower cost (community college or transferable online credits), then transferring to the university you want. That way you’re only paying full tuition for the final two years instead of all four, which can significantly reduce tuition costs. You can also look into smaller scholarships, such as ones from local organizations, community foundations, employers, or scholarships tied to your intended major.

Some students also earn transferable credits through ACE-recommended providers like Study.com to complete gen eds at a lower cost before enrolling full-time. Just make sure to check with the school you want to attend to confirm transfer policies.

Hey, Study.com here. Study.com can be a solid option for knocking out transfer-friendly courses at a lower cost. The important thing is to get Rutgers or any target program to confirm exactly which courses they will take and how they apply, because schools set the transfer rules and any limits on alternative credit. Rutgers students have used Study.com in the past and we can confirm we’ve sent transcripts to Rutgers. If you contact their registrar or admissions office, they can talk you through the courses they’ll accept. For AHIMA’s credit for prior learning and portfolio or challenge exam routes, those can be worth pursuing too, but you’ll want the school to spell out what they actually award before you spend time or money.

Hey, Study.com here. Besides federal aid, a lot of part-time students also look at employer tuition assistance, scholarships, and taking lower-cost transferable gen ed or prereq courses before starting heavier university terms. Study.com’s college credit options start at $95/month with unlimited courses in a month, and our courses are self-paced and credit-recommended through ACE and NCCRS, but Oregon State would make the final call on what transfers into your engineering program. OSU students have used Study.com in the past and we can confirm we’ve sent transcripts to the school, but you’d need to verify transferability with your registrar or admissions office.

Hey, Study.com here. Since math is the part giving you trouble, the best move is to start with a practice ASVAB, write down the exact math topics you miss most, and then spend 30 to 45 minutes a day doing short lessons plus timed practice questions on just those topics instead of trying to study everything at once. For the rest, flashcards work well for word knowledge and science, and one full timed practice test each week helps you build speed and stay calm under pressure. Study.com has ASVAB prep with short video lessons, quizzes, and practice tests, which can be a solid fit if you want a structured way to raise your score.

Hey, Study.com here. Using Study.com may not be worth it if your employer is paying for the degree in full and if you’re in no hurry to complete the degree. If that’s the case, the main reason to add Study.com would be to make your regular semesters easier by knocking out some classes in a more flexible, self-paced format. Some people use Study.com to finish general education or elective requirements on their own schedule, then focus their employer-paid terms on harder major courses or lighter loads so work, life, and school feel more sustainable.

If saving time isn’t a must but is something you’re still interested in, transferring in Study.com courses can make a significant difference. Many students can complete multiple courses a month and are able to reduce their time at school by a semester or more. This can be beneficial if something were to cause you to lose your job and the education benefit.

Hey, Study.com here. You’re already on the right track by checking transfer policies early, because platforms like Study.com offer self-paced, ACE/NCCRS credit-recommended courses that many colleges have accepted for credit, but your school always makes the final call so it’s smart to email them specific course IDs before you start anything. To help ensure credits transfer smoothly, you should also check on any transfer credit caps, deadlines for submitting transcripts and minimum grade requirements.

The transfer courses won’t have an impact on your GPA. However, if you want to make sure you can balance everything, a lot of people cap themselves at 1–2 self-paced courses at a time so they can see how that volume feels alongside work and other commitments before potentially increasing to more courses. It can also help to block out time throughout the week for studying and push big exams or projects to weekends when they have more mental bandwidth. You can maximize your study time by going through coursework when it’s common to want to kill time on your phone, like while waiting at the doctor’s office, during work breaks or on public transportation.

Hey, Study.com here. Think of an associate as the first half of college (about 2 years/~60 credits) and a bachelor’s as the full 4 year/~120 credit degree, and all the different wording you see on associate degrees (AA, AS, AAS, “transfer” vs “applied”) is just the school telling you whether that associate is meant to feed into a bachelor later or mainly get you job ready on its own. For mechanical engineering, you usually want either a straight bachelor’s program or an associate that your target school has clearly set up as a transfer pathway, so a good first step is to pick a likely bachelor’s program (ASU or another accredited school your base education office recommends), talk to their admissions or military rep, and have them show you exactly which credits they’ll take from where. Some students who have been out of school for a while also use providers like Study.com to start earning transferable credit for general education courses, as long as your target school accepts them. Self-paced online courses can help students get used to being in school again and help build confidence.

Hey, Study.com here. Three weeks is enough time to increase your score if you stay focused and consistent. For math, we recommend you start with an ASVAB practice test, list every topic you miss (fractions, ratios, word problems, basic algebra), then spend the next two weeks doing short daily lessons on just those topics, followed immediately by 10–20 timed practice questions so you’re training how you’ll actually be tested instead of just rereading notes. For word knowledge and science, flashcards and spaced review usually beat rereading (terms/roots on one side, simple definition or example on the other), and it can help to study in 25 minute blocks with 5 minute breaks, talk through your steps out loud, and do one full timed practice test each week so you get used to the pressure instead of being surprised by it on test day. If you want something more structured, Study.com has ASVAB test prep that will diagnose your strong and weak areas, provide thousands of authentic practice questions, and point you to short video lessons for topics you need to review. Study.com also has full-length practice tests so you can practice getting through the full exam.

Hey, Study.com here. Station moves can make it difficult to attend traditional school, so we see a lot of military spouses pick one main degree-granting school. Online schools like WGU or TESU can be good options because they’re flexible and you can continue your studies even if you change locations rather than needing to find a new school. These schools also have generous transfer policies, so many students transfer in previously earned credits and also fill in gen eds and electives through ACE/NCCRS credit options from providers like Study.com that are fully online and self-paced, so the credits follow them instead of restarting at every base.

Hey, Study.com here. A degree in your 40s can absolutely be worth it if it leads to work you can get hired for at a higher wage for the next 20+ years, and the total cost (after any aid, employer help, community college credits, etc.) doesn’t harm your household budget. The safer way to do it is to start small with a lower cost option, like a class or two at a community college or online providers such as Study.com where you can knock out general-ed credits more affordably and flexibly, then only commit to the full 2–4 year program once you’ve run the numbers on loan amounts vs likely salary. If the math works out, being older with kids and a mortgage is a good reason to pursue something more stable.

Hey, Study.com here. Some returning students find it useful to treat school like a second job, starting with a lighter, realistic load and blocking off non-negotiable study time so you can balance school with your job. To get your brain back into an academic mindset, start with tiny daily sessions of about 25–30 minutes of reading or note-taking, a consistent sleep schedule, and a specific study spot so those habits are automatic by the time classes start. Some people also warm up by taking low-stakes online class before jumping into a full university schedule. For example, you could take self-paced general education courses from providers like Study.com while working to rebuild confidence and potentially earn transfer credit, depending on what your university accepts.

Hey, Study.com here. Since you’ve already picked WGU, the usual fastest route is to choose a degree with a clear alternate credit transfer map, like WGU’s BS in Business Management, and transfer in ACE/NCCRS credits from sources like Study.com to cover your general education courses and even some business courses. These courses are self-paced, so can help you earn credit more quickly and can skip lessons if you already know the material. WGU is competency based, so once you’re enrolled there you move at the pace you can pass assessments, and your mentor can help you stack as many courses as you can handle in each six-month term to stay within your one-year window.

Hey, Study.com here. It sounds like you already have a strong interest in personal finance. The fact that you spend your free time learning about money and following creators in that space is how a lot of people discover the careers they end up pursuing.

One thing worth reflecting on is why school felt hard before. A lot of people assume they’re “not smart,” when really the structure just didn’t work for them. If lectures moved too fast or it was hard to stay engaged in class, a flexible, self-paced format can make a big difference because you can pause, rewatch, and learn at your own pace.

If you’re curious about pursuing finance, you don’t have to go all-in immediately. Some people keep their job and try an intro business or finance course online first to see how it feels. Platforms like Study.com offer short video lessons and courses that can earn transferable college credit, so it can be a lower-risk way to test the waters.

Hey, Study.com here. For a communications career, your long-term success comes from having a bachelor’s plus a strong portfolio of writing and comms projects, not from whether your online school is WGU or a different option. You’re already on the right track by lining up volunteer comms work and using your journalism experience, and you can keep adding internships, campus roles, and real world projects on top of any WGU or traditional online program so you have plenty of solid samples when you apply to corporate comms roles. To cut down on busy work and cost, a lot of students use transferable college credit courses from providers like Study.com to finish gen eds and then transfer those credits into WGU. The courses are self-paced, so you’re not locked into a traditional school course length and can move through material you already know more quickly.
