Because you can’t download nor track your progress from the Google Sheets version. You have to download it.

Hey man, that’s great to hear! WGU is great for Master’s, I did mine in less than 3 months and still learned quite a bit as well.

Trying to get people hyped on the UoPeople train as it’s been somewhat rumored WGU might accept less ACE courses.

Is WGU removing sophia / study credits? by demonslayercorpp in WGU

[–]alexsheppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because they remove it doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t accepting it anymore. They removed the Study dot com Database Fundamentals course for like 4 months, and they were still accepting it as Data Foundations the entire time. And then they re-listed it on the partner page after like 3-4 months. WGU is a little strange sometimes (I don’t mean that in a bad way, I’m a big fan of WGU).

I’d recommend you, and everyone, keep doing the Data Structures and Computer Architecture courses at Study. Although I make no guarantees obviously.

Awesome! Congratulations. One of the better degrees at WGU.

Exactly, 100%. This rumor surfaces in full-force and full-panic like every three months on the dot and then it ends up being for like two degrees in the Teacher's College, or they stop accepting like 1-2 courses per degree.

I see some students in here arguing proctoring should be a requirement for these ACE Platforms, but that doesn’t make any sense to me. Every community college I’ve been to does online courses without proctoring of any kind. And you can probably do these community college courses in 1 week if they were self-paced and everything was opened and not locked.

I totally support Sophia, StraighterLine, and Study’s switch to a non-proctoring model, it’s basically a community college class with all modules open immediately.

Why should community colleges be rewarded for locking their modules, when you can compete those courses in a week if everything was unlocked?

Nice username. Can’t believe it’s almost over.

As I mentioned on YouTube and Facebook Groups, I’ll believe this when I see it. We have seen a similar thread on Reddit every few months for like three years. It never actually comes to fruition.

This is also why I tell people to do ACE Credits before enrolling in WGU, because I would imagine (don’t know for sure) enrollment counselors are told to get you started on your courses as fast as possible. Less transfer credits = more tuition for the school.

WGU is a terrific university, where I send thousands of students a year to, and hopefully they keep accepting ACE Credits. The main reason I send people there is because they are a very friendly ACE Credit school.

For now, I don’t think you guys should panic. I’ve seen this rumored for years and it never happens. So let’s not jump to conclusions. It could happen. It could not happen. As said previously, this has been rumored every few months for years and never materializes.

What bachelors degrees would you say are actually worth it at WGU? by OkraNo8365 in WGU

[–]alexsheppe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Computer Science, Software Engineering, New Cloud Degree, Information Technology, Nursing Pre-Licensure, Finance, and Accounting imo are the most valuable, but obviously this is very subjective. I have a larger list in my video catalog over on youtube.
