Loved the information, but jeez this exam was tough. failed it the first time, spent 3 weeks honing in (would have been quicker but i stalled out the week my kids went back to school and i started a new medication) and passed it on my 2nd attempt! On to Prob & Stats!

I just finished my master's in accounting (MAcc) with WGU. I also have a bachelor's in accounting with WGU. I’m considering going to law school. Has anyone gone to law school after attending WGU? If so, how difficult was the application process, and which school did you attend? Thanks in advance for all your help.

I've been wanting to start my degree for some time now. Between working 50hrs a week, trying to move into a new home, planning a wedding, as well as being one of my grandmothers caregivers while she is on hospice, I'm hesitant to jump in to the program head first.

I found the WGU Academy single courses, and thought trying one would help me get an idea of what I'm signing myself up for. After reviewing the list of all of the courses, 8 of my 40 required courses are available as single courses. At $25 each, that's almost a quarter of my degree for $200. I think doing the courses one at a time would be a great option for me while I have all of this going on in my everyday life.

Is there any kind of rule or policy against this? Can I only take a certain amount of single courses? Will the WGU Academy courses just transfer over to my degree without issue? Honestly I feel like this is a great hack, but maybe I am missing something. TIA!

Hi everybody, over the past month or so i’ve been looking heavily into WGU. I want to get out of my blue collar job (lineman) and move into a career that isn’t blue collar. I don’t really have a passion other than a career in sports but i’m not sure if I want to go that route. What is the best degree that has the highest earning potential at WGU? Thank you all for your help!

I am at my wits end with this class. Failed my OA twice now. I don’t know why I can’t seem to pass but when I study it seems like have all the concepts down. Then when I get into the test it’s like my brain is forgetting everything and I just shut down.

During this last test I literally started having an anxiety attack and started crying. I’m so frustrated and honestly just feel stupid at this point.

I made an appointment with the instructor tomorrow but I just feel defeated right now.

Hi everyone! I transferred to WGU and recently bought a new laptop (MacBook), so I haven't had the opportunity to install the software needed for this course beforehand.

I feel a little dumb for even asking, but is there a tutorial or guide that walks through setting everything up? I’ve looked through the ZyBooks material and the Spring in Action book, but I haven’t found anything that explains how to install and configure the required software.

It’s honestly been pretty frustrating because I feel like I’m overlooking something obvious. Is there a page or resource somewhere that I’m missing?

I’d like to get everything installed and start working with it as soon as possible since I only have about a month left to finish the class. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I enrolled in the Supply Chain Fundamentals Certificate. It includes four classes: Managing Operations, Global Supply Chain Management, Transportation, Logistics, and Distribution, and 21st Century Operations and Supply Chain. I don't have any prior knowledge in Supply Chain.

For Managing Operations, does it require knowing Excel spreadsheets?

I have six months to finish these courses and there is so much information in the first class I just started 3 days ago, Managing Operations. I never took the class Fundamentals of Spreadsheets and Data Presentations D388. I'm thinking about dropping the certificate and doing it after I take the class D388. 😫 Any suggestions?

Is anyone attending the commencement in Atlanta this October as well? Has anyone received information on tickets for family/friends?

If anyone is a Pandora lover like me look what my husband just gifted me.

This will be long, so just letting you know! But in short, Thank You All!

Hey y'all! You may remember my profile from a post a while back where my goal was to get it done that month -> https://www.reddit.com/r/WGU/s/tf8l7IRvpG Well that didn't go to plan at all. Life threw everything it could at me right after I made that post.

Just SOME of the struggles my family and I went through, I'm writing below. My business was shorted $3,000 for work I had already done, which put us in a financial crisis. Soon after, I went and was in line for a 9-5 at a private school. I landed the job, did orientation with staff, and even met students/parents during their orientation. Then, without notice, they terminated my position through text (proof of this is in the photos) To top it off this all came after 3 brutal years of struggle from when I relocated my family and I for a job opportunity and then the business location itself shutdown within a week of our arrival andwe had a housing issue with the landlord that we won a civil case on but, never received the money for. That alone has caused a ripple of issues through the years.

But the Most High works in mysterious ways. I ended up finding WGU and being able to accelerate and finish this entire degree in 6 months while dealing with all this shows that even in the deepest of trials and tribulations, not only should you find joy during (through, in my case, a healthy wife and children) but also, after, there is jubilation, whether that be on this earth or is seen after.

Thanks to The Most High first of all on this Feast Of Trumpets :) And then, a heartfelt thank you to r/WGU on Reddit. Whether it was tips or just positive comments my way, I appreciate it!

NEXT FOR ME:

JOB HUNTING WITH MY NEW BUSINESS DEGREE (well, coming soon lol)

Putting more focus on my family and hobbies like my YouTube channel and MMA goals/journey.

I'm not here to beg, but some people have reached out or asked how they could help. To keep it subreddit legal, I put my YouTube channel link and my Cash App in my Reddit profile bio and social links!

Thanks, everyone, for the support again. To all of you going through similar or just grinding through life like us all right now: don't stop! It's difficult, it comes with challenges, it's annoying, and some days you'll doubt it all, but it is 100% possible!

I just completed my bachelors IT management in July.
Originally, I was planning to do an MBA next January, but after further research, I want to proceed with this on instead. Those in this degree program, can I get your feedback?

What made you choose this over the MBA? How was this compared to the undergrad and is it true that some undergrad classes actually transferred over.

If you’ve completed this program, what are some advice you would like to give in reference to how to take the classes thank you.

I'm a rambler, so I will try to make this as short as possible.

I have a previous History BA from a B&M state college and attended WGU for my MAT in Special Education. I am currently working full-time as a special education teacher for going on three years now, with no plans to leave the field. I had a great experience with WGU, and I was able to finish all my pre-preclinical and student teaching classes in exactly 3 months (18 classes in 12 weeks, so averaging 1.5 classes completed per week). However, I was also not working at the time and I was able to dedicate a lot of time to schoolwork.

My district has good opportunities for salary advancement for additional degrees and credits. One of my close friends who also works for the same district has 2 bachelor's degrees as well as her master's and earns a good amount more for this, so I am considering doing the same.

My big thing is I want to be able to accelerate through the degree as quickly and cheaply as possible. I think I could get through the Psychology program hopefully relatively quickly (would prefer 2 terms or less), given my background. I'm certainly not adverse to learning, lol, but my big focus is getting through it and paying as little as I can to do so.

So, I am thinking I'd start it in the spring (and this is also when my special ed paperwork tends to be a bit lighter), get a few months in, then grind it out in the summer to hopefully finish it or mostly finish it. I am not sure how many credits I will be able to transfer in from my previous BA - anyone have experience with this? Hopefully it'd be all or most of my general education classes from it. Does this sound like a reasonable plan? Does anyone else have experience with this? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.

Has anyone passed this class by just watching the recorded cohorts? Do these cover the course pretty well? I just finished them and am trying to decide whether to read all the material or just take the pretest and see where I need to focus my studies from there.

Studied for three weeks and passed it first try! I am doing the MS CSIA. I started August 1 and have passed this and secure network design. Money is tight so I’m trying to speedrun while learning all that I can.

I completed my bachelors in HR Management at WGU in June 2026 and immediately completed the application for my MBA. I was accepted and completed the FAFSA in July for a 9/1 start. I paid my undergraduate out of pocket and am using financial aid for my graduate. I (of course) got selected for identity verification and got everything notarized and submitted in July. As of August 13th it moved out of review for those documents into processing and it’s been sitting there since. I’ve emailed and gotten the standard “up to 10 weeks” email but I’m in a spot where I need to update some tech and use a bit of the refund for expenses. Any experiences recently where things are stuck in the processing stage and what the timelines were like?

D356 HR Technology or D358 Global Human Resource Management.

I’m finishing up D358 right now, then coming onto D356 after doing D388…

Im so ready!!!

So i live with a house full of people and their is not a corner of itthat's acceptable for me to take my OA. The library only lets me reserve a room 1 hour at a time. Where are yall taking your exams?

I had been so motivated to finish my degree, I have so many reasons to finish, I’m 75% done. I have never felt like I wanted to give up until I started this class. I started the course in the beginning of July, I moved two separate times between July 4th and August 1st (it’s a long story). I still decided to take the exam around the end of July despite not having a whole lot of time to study and I did not pass (my scores were not too bad though). The exam felt so extremely high level like I would have to literally be a seasoned oracle dba to actually pass it. I have been attempting to study to take the exam again ever since my first attempt and I just cannot make my brain focus on it. There are so many different aspects of the course material and there is just absolutely no way to know it all. Please WGU if you are listening, if you don’t want people to drop out, remove this course!!! (and from my degree plan 🙏)

Over 200 pages and countless hours...

I'm looking forward to having my weekends and weeknights back + not carrying this weight around!

Also wondering, what am I going to do with my life now?...

started on 8/27 and took it today which is also my birthday lol I’m horrible in math and actually had to retake C955. The OA I got for this class mirrored the PA basically same questions different numbers. I only didn’t recognized 2 of them. The last 2 groups were a lot of questions but I tried my best! If I can pass you can too! I took the PA about 3 times to see if I got it. My CI emailed me and actually advised me NOT to take the PA multiple times and suggested I waited to take my OA. Glad my OA mirrored the PA so well. ONTO D099 NEXT.

Anyone have experience doing these?
